Interesting story at first, that keeps on growing and you wanna see what happens next with our boys Qui Gonn and Obi Wan.

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan look like Brad and Chad

[Rebecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fun comic following two of my favorite Jedi. The humor is nice.

"It was amazing." - 5 out of 5 star rating.

I have absolutely not a single negative thing whatsoever to say about this comic. 100% solid Star Wars comic across the board.

Strong prequel vibes, with Obi and Qui-Gon front and center, with an extremely intriguing bodyguard/personal security detail mission that evolves into so much more. Our Jedi heroes are faced with a murder scene in space, followed by a continued investigation, as the comic book name eludes to, Ord Mantell.

Outstanding opening issue for a comic series. I say again, I cannot say a single bad thing about this issue. Ryder Windham delivered here to say the least! On top of amazing artwork and dialog that feels entirely true to character? Super excited for this short five (5) issue series and how it all unfolds.

Looking forward to #2!

Fine... Not much occured but setting up the plot.

[Kirsten Lost 2022 · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was... ok. Decent enough story although it feels a bit surface level and resolves SUPERFAST.

[Daniel Gaul · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice filler story of Obi-Wan's apprenticeship, but not on a level with other Star Wars stories

[Laurence · Rating 2 out of 5]

Simplistic, but I thought that Obi Wan and Qui Gon were quite well represented here.
