The authors did not pull any punches in this one. Kudos to them for that. I had been hoping for an admiral that was likable, but alas, it was not to be. It'll be interesting to see how the events of this issue affect Zayne's character arc.
It was one thing seeing Zayne's vision come true, but I really liked the twist at the end when Carth reveals to him that he sent a warning to 17 cities. Looking forward to seeing whether or not Gryph is still alive.

"It was okay / I liked it." - 2.5 star rating out of 5, rounded up to a 3.
Not bad, but not great. The whole chow hall ship saga continues, with this particular entry being the most enjoyable to be fair. Trandoshan pancakes with fruit syrup on top sounds good and also makes me reminisce about my old pet iguana and him eating fruits and veggies lol.
When it comes to Zayne's vision of fire aka the cover art of this comic, it all comes crashing down, literally, in this issue in the form of atomics. If only they would have listened...
Carth Onasi, yes - the soldier/pilot from the original Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) videogame has a lot of content in this one. I felt like the amount was just right as well. Not too little or not too much, just right.
Moving forward, it has been quite a few issues since we've heard anything from Lucien and his covenant... I hope in #16 coming up next we get at least a few panels of what's happening on that end.
