I was very skeptical at first to get into this series. I had gone through a couple other Star Wars comics before the Crimson Empire series, and it really did nothing for me. I had slight enjoyment with them, but it really didn't make me feel like I was reading about the same galaxy Luke and friends had made so great. Yes, I do love other EU that have nothing to do with the Original or Prequel trilogies, but I never felt that great about it with the comics.
So basically, this was like the last time I would buy EU comics if I didn't enjoy it.
The story is of a former royal guard to the Emperor. It takes place after the original trilogy. I don't really want to give too much away, but I'm sure that most people will enjoy the stories...especially if you love the royal guards.
The illustrations are really great. I can't really explain it, but it's not extremely stylized, but it gets the job done.
Yea...not a lot more I can say about this...except that I know that it has been out for a loooong time, and that a lot of people either have read it, or don't care...
Well, if you get a chance to read this...I recommend that you do. Both of the "episodes" are great. And thanks to these two graphic novels, I will be getting back into Star Wars comics...so...yea...pick this collection up.
