Javoue not be returned immediately in this new series. The fault probably the drawings, which I'll talk a little lower, and lack of interest for the characters of brother and sister Daragon. By cons, when Kevin J. Anderson takes us into the little corner of the galaxy of the Sith, with all these black people, these devouring ambitions, this is another story begins. The two most important points, the most interesting for me in Star Wars, the explanations of the Force and the Sith. And with this first volume of The Legend of the Jedi, we have a good overview of this feudal society.

If the interest soon emerged at the scenario, it is not at all the case for the designs! I find the features of Dario Darrasco Jr absolutely repulsive. Really very hard to take on oneself to read this story despite the drawings. I do not know if this artist is to credit the six volumes of the series, but jen davance tremble. This is approximate, expressionless and draft. And add to this the colors that give Pamela Rambo under a very old style, with dull colors.

In short, it was not immediate but the title has passed to the end mintéresser mouvrir and the doors of the world of the Sith. Hopefully the following volumes continue this momentum. Big negative for drawings.
