Star Wars - The Old Republic #4 (Comic)

Blood of the Empire - Part 1




Star Wars - The Old Republic #4 is the beginning of a new story arc focusing on the Sith. The story follows a rising young Sith named Teneb Kel and his servant Maggot.

After proving himself to the Dark Council Teneb Kel is assigned the task of locating the Emperor's former Apprentice, Exal Kressh, a traitor to the Sith.

With fewer major players this storyline is much easier to follow than the previous issues, does not contain a lot of jumping around from place to place or person to person, and looks as though it will mainly follow Kressh and Kel with a few interruptions here and there.

The battle sequences have also been more promising. Not as quick, fights actually last an entire page, not just three frames and someone ends up dead.

This arc may just keep the readers coming back for more, so stay tuned and don't forget to check out part 2 (issue #5), available November 3, 2010. -GJ
