Reviews

[Jackson · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Shadows of the Empire mini-series is definitely the highlight of the epic collection. If you want a fun story set between episodes V and VI, then you may want to check out this collections. Shadows does a great job with telling a fun story that connects with several other media tie-ins during the era, and the artwork in the series was solid. The rest of the collection did not have many standouts to me. I know some really enjoy the Tag and Bink comics, but I have never particularly liked them. There is also a ton of Tales comics in this, which that series tends to have widely varying quality.

Shadows of the Empire is still pretty good, but the rest is largely filler. Has the worst adaption of RotJ I've ever read.
