Review: Dark Apprentice

Dark Apprentice Dark Apprentice by Kevin J. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is definitely better than its predecessor. It starts off really slow, gets pretty good, and then the second half is ripe with drama, character building, and intrigue. I'm bad at doing these without any spoilers, but it's among the more interesting conflicts I've experienced in Star Wars. Even if the antagonist seemed at first to have been a bit rushed, he's been built up pretty well now.

Review: Jedi Search

Jedi Search Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

More like 3.5. It was definitely enjoyable, just nothing special. A few good character moments and many of the concepts such as the state of a remote Empire fleet with no clue they lost and finding latent force-users across the galaxy (which reminded me of season 3 of Korra) kept my interest high, established great possibilities for the other 2 books and beyond, and overall bumped it up from being just pretty good

Review: Spawn Origins, Volume 3

Spawn Origins, Volume 3 Spawn Origins, Volume 3 by Todd McFarlane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Some of the best stories of Spawn so far are gathered here. Amazing characterization, Capullo's amazing art, Milelr actually writing something interesting, a lot of depth added to the world and lore, and some of the best character designs, especially for minor characters, I;ve ever seen. Some issues are above average as opposed to amazing, which brings it down a bit, but the highs are something spectacular.

Review: Uncanny X-men: Muir Island Saga

Uncanny X-men: Muir Island Saga Uncanny X-men: Muir Island Saga by Chris Claremont
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The art is superb, the ideas are great, and some of the action is awesome. It's actually jumbled, does a lot of telling and not showing to rush to a conclusion, and a lot of the potential mental tensions between x-people isn't tackled in the slightest.
