It was bound to happen! Pursuing the lost plans for a Separatist secret weapon, Jedi Aayla Secura has a showdown with her former Master and friend turned dark Jedi, Quinlan Vos! Clone Commander Bly, accompanying his Jedi-General Aayla Secura, understands the purpose and function of the armor he wears. But as he experiences the confrontation between Secura and Vos, he witnesses the strengths, and weaknesses, of the mental, emotional, and spiritual "armor" worn by each of the combatants. In this special issue, told from Bly's point of view the mysteries of the Jedi are viewed from a Human perspective. And when the turmoil wrought upon the Jedi by the Clone Wars and by the seething power of the dark side threatens them all, Bly, Aayla, and Quin must each make a life-or-death decision.

About the author
John Ostrander
2,082 books174 followersJohn Ostrander is an American writer of comic books. He is best known for his work on Suicide Squad, Grimjack and Star Wars: Legacy, series he helped create.
Originally an actor in a Chicago theatre company, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).
Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.

A nice adventure on a mission with Aayla Secura with Quinlan Vos in the midst of the Clone Wars. Great artwork too.

A one-off comic where Ayala Secura and Bly are stuck on a planet to recover CIS information on a devastating weapon. They meet Quinlan Voss and Ayala Secura is unsure if he is a jedi still or if he has defected truly.
The story was not the most investing, but I did like how it took Commander Bly's perspective and his cynicism towards the Jedi Order as a whole. The ending of the comic was really what kept me from rating it lower than 3/5 stars, mostly because the story picks up.

Ostrander is back in this tale told from the view of a Clone Trooper. Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos encounter each other outside a jungle temple, both on a mission to get proof of an Agent Orange type substance that works on a planetary level. Longtime fans know things get dicey when Vos is around, and this time is no different. Seeing this tale unfold through the eyes of a Clone Trooper gives the tale an interesting spin, too.

Bly and Ayala deserved to get married and have kids! Disney needs a “what if”series ASAP so we can have these stories that were stolen!
