The wildest adventure in the ancient history of Star Wars gets wilder in a brand-new story arc featuring the most feared warriors in the galaxy, the Mandalorians! Leaving the treacherous streets of Taris behind them, fugitive Padawan Zayne Carrick and the rag-tag crew of the Last Resort, cook up a scheme to pilfer much needed supplies from an unsuspecting bunch of miserly miners. Unfortunately, any attempts at avoiding attention are for naught when the group finds they've landed themselves smack dab in the middle of the Republic and Mandalorian conflict!

A great start to a new story arc! We get to see Mandalorians in this issue, which is really cool. And, we've now got several problems for our team of outcasts to solve over the next several issues in this arc. Looking forward to seeing how those things end up playing out!

Background art is here. I like this artist better already.

"I liked it." - 3 out of 5 star rating.

The new arc is off to an okay start. Our heroes (?) are going towards the Mandalorian War Battle Front to try to escape pursuit, which sounds like trading one danger for another. Not sure if that makes the most sense, but let's run with it.

Sure enough, they get tangled up into a swarm of Mandalorians. One of the crew gets snatched and bagged. Now the battle between whatever group/faction of Mandos this is versus the runaway misfits to save their teammate. We shall see how all of this unfolds and also find the reason behind the capture versus kill we received here.

Onward!

I was surprised to see the rating on this one. I thought the action of an all out war were welcome by now in this series and the art was phenomenal.

Well, things just keep going from bad to worse for these guys. Guess the main story's on the backburner for now.
