Star Wars: Republic (Single Issues) #55

by W. Haden Blackman, Brian Ching (Illustrator), Kevin Walker (Illustrator)

General Kenobi and his First Lieutenant, Anakin Skywalker, find themselves transferred to a post on the rain-soaked planet Jabiim. The fighting is fierce, and the vast majority of the locals have sided with theSeparatists, leaving the Republic's outposts isolated and vulnerable. In the face of mounting casualties and shrinking resources, Obi-Wan leads what he hopes will be a crippling attack on the enemy. But the environment is against the Jedi and his clone troops; the rain won't let up, their war machines bog down in the mud, and air support is non-existent! This might be Obi-Wan's final mission!

Set in 22BBY
New chapter! Great start!

Anakin & Obi-Wan during Clone Wars, going over a planet to fight against Separatist, who, personally, make a valid point about not wanting the Republic running things over their planet. I mean, the main antagonist wants to be free, and not "owned" by the Republic, who they begged and begged for years to help out with wars, but the good Republic only answered their call when they found out their mud-filled planet hides precious ore to mine under it. Politics, amirite?

Solid story, even better artwork to go along with it! Everyone's in character and the overall arc looks promising. I'm hooked!

Great start to a new story arc that looks promising.

I can see why people in legends keep brining up Jabiim as a huge fucking disaster
