This is a comic collection that is part of Phase III of The High Republic series. In this one the Jedi are still battling the Nihil while Keeve is still in mourning.
This basically met my expectations and as you can see from my rating I was not expecting much. I have not been the biggest fan of the comic collections in this series with most of my ratings being two to three stars. For me the comic collections seem to be concerned with the less important characters from this series and I feel no connection to the books. That continues in this collection. That is not my biggest issue with this particular collection. It is just so convoluted with all the stories it is trying to tell. Is it about the Nihil winning the war or is about Keeve and her grief? Or is about two Jedi not sharing a connection like they once did? Or is about the return of old characters (I did not like this at all as I felt like we cheapened how we last saw them.) So now on top me having no connection to the characters I also have no connection to a story because there is no concentration on one story. It was all over the place. I can say that about the artwork too. At times really, really good and other times...not so much.
I know I am in the minority with my view of this series. I am glad it is the home stretch and the end is in sight. I know more or less when I go into a new offering from this series what my rating is going to be. If you are enjoying this series I think you will like this collection. If your feelings are similar to mine about this series this collection will not change that opinion.

Este cómic transcurre un año después de la caída del Starlight por lo que los Nihil ya instauraron su terrible Muro Tormenta. El tiempo coincide aproximadamente con el libro principal de la fase 3 "El ojo de la oscuridad" que también estoy leyendo.
Keeve Trenis está con un grupo de la CDR liderada por la comandante Velko Jahen en el Vigalarga "Gios". La acompañan los jedi Santar, Terec y Cerec (estos dos últimos han quedado dañados neurológicamente). Cuando Elzar les informa de que en el planta Ballum del sector Kastolar un grupo Nihil atravesó el muro y parece querer una alianza con los Hutt de Skarabda, deben ir a su encuentro. Allí los Nihil están liderados por el hijo de la tormenta o caza-jedi Lycos y Affanar. Ellos tienen un sin nombre amordazado. Santar es el que muere pulverizado por el Sin nombre, y se da una gran contienda entre todos. Durante el encuentro, Keeve descubre que Lourna Dee está allí con los Hutt liderando el "Ataraxia" (la nave jedi que ahora es suya). Al final Keeve decide llevarse el Ataraxia en contra de las indicaciones de Coruscant y se encuentran a tres jedi sobrevivientes de la caída del Faro Starlight que se creían muertos o desaparecidos.
No simpatizo con Terec y Cerec y no lo haré nunca de seguro. Keeve continúa siendo tan recta y casi ingenua como siempre, a pesar de todo me cae bien, pero exagera para mí en la condescendencia. Particularmente incomoda que algunos jedi sí sobrevivieron y otros más importantes no. Me gustó ver a los Sin Nombre de manera más gráfica, pues en los libros nunca llegas a sentirlos tan presentes. Verlos derrotados también sorprende de alguna manera pues en los libros parecen tan terribles y aquí de alguna u otra manera estos Jedi menos expertos se la vadean mejor con ellos.
En el cómic "Star Wars Revelations 01" hay una pequeña historia de Keeve Trennis llamada "Toda la República", es una escaramuza con algunos Nihil antes de los eventos del volumen.

Keeve and Sskeer are one of the High Republic's most interesting Jedi pairs. It's too bad they got relegated to comic books, which seems to keep their story going over the same basic plot points again and again. I'd like to have seen them in a regular book.
But the main lesson from this comic book is this: Star Wars has to set limits on how many species live for hundreds of years. When we first meet Yoda, one of his defining character traits is that he's nine hundred years old. We sense that one of the reasons he's so wise (at least, we're told he's wise) is that he's so old. Someone who lives hundreds of years ought to have a lot of accumulated wisdom.
But then in The Force Awakens, we meet another small, wrinkly creature who lives for hundreds of years. She's not particularly wise, or interesting, or important to the plot. So her longevity seems like a gimmick.
Then we learn in Solo that Chewbacca is really old. And then Ki Adi and Vernestra appear in The Acolyte; I had no idea either of their species existed for hundreds of years, but there they were. Now the High Republic gives us Azlin Rell, and Porter Engle, and General Viess, and Yarael Poof, and Oppo Rancisis . . . and, in this comic book, Tey Sirrek returns as a bearded, elderly character. Come on. Enough.
The problem with so many characters who endure for hundreds of years is that it changes the basic chronological "feel" of Star Wars. Yoda was an anomaly, and his longevity added something interesting to his character. But when it becomes almost the norm, it makes it hard for me to enter into the story's world, since "urgent" and "significant" would be so different for someone who lives a long, long time. Characters ought to remember things from hundreds of years ago, which means there are fewer surprises, and other characters (Jedi especially) ought to demonstrate much more wisdom than they ever do.
I really didn't care to see Tey return, more than a hundred years later. Nor did I want Lourna Dee to return. She has never been interesting. When the Nihil are introduced as anarchic chaos agents, then what's the point of a character who leaves the Nihil to become . . . an anarchic chaos agent? There's nothing to do with that.

A welcome return to the original High Republic run and the return of one of my favorite characters in this era boosts this volume in a big way for me. Enjoyed reading this one!

A great action-packed story of the aftermath of the fall of Starlight Beacon. Excellent story, good to great artwork in places, character development, and lots of action.
A year has passed since the fall of Starlight Beacon. Since then, the Jedi have not only had to rethink their roles but their whole philosophy. How can they preach no fear when the Nameless put the fear into them. Keeve Trennia is finding the death of her master especially difficult. Now, on a mission to stop a potential alliance between the Nihil and the Hutts, she will have yo face old memories, enemies, allies and fight for her life at the same time.
A great start to Phase III. I am expecting a lot more action and warrior style Jedi. I also like the idea of the Jedi questioning their philosophy and paths. Who will fall or rise, but most of all, who will survive. The book finishes with a varient cover gallery.

This comic run really starts off with a bang. I am enjoying revisiting characters that we didn't get to see in The Eye of Darkness, and it's nice to have their stories expanded. Without spoilers, this was a good refresher on some of the most beloved Phase I characters. It's got me excited for Tempest Breaker especially! (Really this is more of a 4.5/5).

After Eye of Darkness we return to the Occlusion Zone with characters totally absent from the novel: Keeve Trenis, Ceret, Terec and spoilers.
Less cosmic, the series focuses on its characters, their doubts and their fears. Plenty of action, a bit of emotion and good illustrations, it's all good even if it's a bit dispensable given the general plot.

The main title for The High Republic comics Phase 3 begins with a bang and continues on at a steady pace. We go back to the staple main character for this, Keeve Trennis, former Padawan of Sskeer, now Jedi Master (could be a Knight only, but receiving of the common addressing title from non-Jedi) is on a Republic Longbeam called The Gios (after the late Stellan Gios) searching the edges of the Occusion Zone. When she finds out that a representative from the Nihil wants to meet with a Hutt for possible alliance, they fly off to meet them. Three things are gained from the adventure: 1) They recapture Lourna Dee, who has been missing for a while; 2) They reclaim Lourna's ship, which was previously Avar Kriss's ship, which is outfitted with a Path Engine, so they can use to get past the Stormwall, and 3) They are more determined to cross the barrier after finding out that Sskeer is still alive.
Overall, this Volume was great at setting up the next stuff for our Jedi, and I am excited to see what happens.
Strong recommend.

While reading this I thought, how on earth have we made it to **phase 3** of the High Republic effort without ever having been told what an unusual construction Republican Longbeam ships have?! That design must have been intended from the beginning, based on the name, but they are never described, so here in a random comic several years later, I finally find out what they look like. Oy.
I was…not thrilled with the return of Lorna Dee. She is hideously drawn in the comics, and her character has only been really good in that one audio drama where she was a main character. I thought for sure I had just missed the ending of her story in Phase 1, which is easy to do when you have to read ev.er.y.thing. and even then will somehow miss something. But nope, I didn’t miss it; she’s back, unfortunately, and for some inexplicable reason the Jedi took both the ship and Lorna Dee straight back into Nihil space. Frustrating.

I think I stumbled upon a graphic novel that’s mid-series as there were mentioned events which I have not read about so I think my review would be better made once I’ve read from the beginning.
However, this novel introduced new species and new elements from the Star Wars universe that I can’t help but be more intrigued about what’ll happen next! Before that, I shall read from the beginning!

Keeve Trennis is an interesting character and I remain invested in her journey. But the other aspects of this TPB weren't as interesting. I still harbour an intense dislike of Lourna Dee who, aside from one good audiobook, has yet to be used effectively.

Phase 3 Book 1, set 229 BBY.
A year after the fall of Starlight Beacon, Jedi Master Keeve Trennis and her allies fight to prevent an alliance between the marauding Nihil and the greedy Hutt Cartel. However, when Keeve hears of a rumour of a Trandoshan Jedi operating in Nihil space, she launches a desperate mission through the Stormwall in an attempt to rescue her missing Master, Sskeer.
To begin with I was actually enjoying this book quite a lot. The situation with the Nihil is much more interesting in Phase 3, where they have the upper hand, than it was in Phase 1 (even if I still don't think they're particularly engaging antagonists) and I enjoyed the interplay between them, the Republic and the Hutts. The latter added a nice dynamic to the story, being as ruthless as the Nihil but not as chaotic.
Keeve Trennis is also a much more interesting character as a Jedi Master, having lost some of her naiveté but gained decisiveness in its place. Seeing her effectively go off the reservation in the hopes of rescuing Sskeer was an interesting direction to take the character in.
What lets this book down is an almost obnoxious cliffhanger ending.
It doesn't feel like its there to build tension for what comes next but rather just feels like the story is chopped-off mid-flow. I know this is an ongoing series, but other writers manage to 'write for the trade', so why not Scott? It wouldn't have been hard to have a slightly more satisfying resolution whilst also building engagement for whatever comes next, but it's studiously avoided here.

Cavan Scott opens up Marvel’s phase 3 High Republic run with a wild, energetic start and throws in some pretty big surprises.
What I liked:
The story is interesting and has many great characters we know and love from the High Republic era. I like what the story is trying to do, but just doesn’t all come together in the right way for me to love it.
I also really loved the opening sequence of issue #1 with an internal monologue with flashes to traumatic events. It all get very cinematic and well done.
What didn’t work:
The art had a cartoony feel which I felt “meh” about, though issues #1 and #5 stood out with penciler/inker Ario Anindito lending his talents to those issues.
The story had a lot going on, and there were a few pages that I got completely lost in what was happening. The story in the first two issues are connected but then the final 3 switches gears. It just didn’t feel cohesive to me. Almost like they had to whip up something for two issues just to fill space. By the end, it didn’t pack the emotional punch it was trying for.
I’m going to rate this as a Blaster Burn. It had some very thrilling moments, but it misses the mark at the end of the day.

So it’s been a good long well since I’ve read any of the High Republic comics. I always start these feeling lost — most of the human characters really struggle to resonate with me, and with the gaps between collections I’m barely holding onto the plot as it pertains to the Drengir, Nihil, or the Nameless as the central antagonist. Keeve seems a little less petulant and impulsive now, which I enjoyed, but it feels like that’s just been passed over to Ceret and Terec, the new breakdown boys. I do love the diversity of aliens and the convoluted, twisty politics between the Jedi, Nihil, and Hutts — just enough to keep me on my toes. Curious how I’ll respond to Phase III vol II since I have that up next.

Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Die Hohe Republik: Kinder des Sturms
Die Handlung:
Nach der Starlight-Katastrophe ist Jeid-Meister Sskeer verschwunden, doch seine ehemalige Schülerin Keeve Trennis glaubt an das Überleben des Trandoshaners. Während sich die Hinweise auf Sskeers Aufenthaltsort verdichten, werden die Jedi von mysteriösen Halluzinationen und wilden Kriegern angegriffen, die auf das Konto der Nihil zu gehen scheinen. Hat die ebenfalls auf der Bildfläche auftauchende Lourna Dee etwas mit den "Kindern des Sturms" zu tun?
Meine Meinung:
Wieder Mal überzeugt die Hauptcomicreihe der Hohen Republik durch und durch. Sskeer und Keeve sind mir als Figuren sehr ans Herz gewachsen und die Handlung wird ihnen mehr als gerecht. Die Einbindung in die Dritte Phase rundum die "Kinder des Sturms" funktioniert ausgezeichnet und deutet wieder auf Marchion Ros volles Zerstörungspotenzial. Für wiederkehrende Leser sind einige Charaktere aus vergangenen Handlungszweigen sinnvoll integriert. Die Zeichnungen von Ario Anindito sind wie gewohnt hervorragend und sinnstiftend. Dazu trägt natürlich die Arbeit des gesamten Kreativteams bei.
Fazit:
Ein Comic ohne Makel, der in Schrift und Bild stilvoll unterhält.

With the Exclusion Zone in place and Starlight Beacon fallen, the Jedi are on the back foot for the first time in a very long time.
After Phase II's detour back in time, Phase III returns to characters we've grown to love like Keeve Trennis and Ceret and Terec. This manages to be intensely personal and still galaxy-sweeping, which is exactly the best kind of Star Wars.
A tad short at only four issues and change, though.

I love the extended star wars universe. I love when these stories get away from the skywalkers. My only complaint about the high republic is that it's really confusing trying to read everything in the right order. I'm reading what I could find of another high republic story line and one of the characters from that series pops up here as an old man. I just can't seem to find all the stories in the right order.
March 27, 2024
This series will be 10 issues so not sure why this tpb ends at issue 4 but it’s whatever. This third phase is shaping up very well and the stories they’re telling are very interesting. This one is fairly dark and sad and entertaining all at once. Bringing together a lot of the characters I’m invested in. Excited to see where it goes and how we wrap up this final phase.

A pretty good start to phase III of the comics. I liked the artwork, and there were a handful of surprises I was not expecting in these issues. Keeve, Sskeer, and Lourna are some of my favorites, so I liked the focus on them. Still, I haven't quite gotten as invested in the comic story and characters as I have for the novels.
September 15, 2024
I've been keeping up with the High Republic novels but not the comics so that may explain why I didn't know the majority of the characters in this run. In particular, I didn't know who the main character Keeve Trennis was. Read as individual comics through Marvel Unlimited, ratings below:

Kind of disjointed in the early going, like there's a page or a few panels missing every so often. But it starts to stick together eventually. Some really poor art on display in a few places, too. It would be nice to have a better idea of the reading order for these books--there's so many of them and no real indicator of how they all fit together.
