1 star for the HK droid opener that was actually pretty good. Star #2 for the ending, leaving his with Zayne having visions of fire which was also nicely done (see the cover image of the next comic).
Sadly, everything sandwiched in-between is rather awful. The filler content about the chow hall aka mess hall vessel is just bad all around.
Looking at #15 up next, if it is half as cool looking as the cover art is, we should be in for a drastically better issue than whatever this was.
The Mandalorian stowaway is back! I have to admit, I expected more from the assassin droid fight, but it was cool to see the Mandalorian again. He seems like a decent guy, so I'll be interested to see how that ends up playing out.
Also, I really like the pilot that Zayne meets in this issue. Definitely hope we get to see more of him throughout this series. And a pretty decent cliff hanger in this issue as well. Looking forward to reading the next one to see how that all plays out!
