In love that this story brought back Ty Yorrick, while also tying her journey to Phase 2. This also put together some missing pieces from Path of Vengeance. Definitely a good way to end Phase 2!

A solid read—it takes a tried-and-true premise and uses it to add some more shading to the Nameless. There’s not a lot of substance, but Mann’s characterizations are economical and capably get the job done, maybe more than the assignment required, honestly. It’s not all that memorable, but I enjoyed it for what it is. 

The artwork might be the star, too. Mello’s style works well for the YA vibes, and the colors from Efremova and Righi give the pages a vibrancy I absolutely vibed with. The Marvel Star Wars runs have had middling to bad artwork for years now, so I can’t overstate how refreshing it is to see a Star Wars comic with even a shred of style and personality in the artwork.

Another great High Republic story.

I am so glad we get more of the Jedi lineage of Ty Yorrick and more storytelling by her. I loved seeing more nameless, although I still feel they are genuinely the worst villains of Star Wars. The visual storytelling clues were so tense, so so good.

Great, and honestly, required High Republic reading. A great Alien-esque-situation of a story. Master Sula’s fate is like a trainwreck - horrible but you have to keep watching. And we even get more Ty Yorrick as the story teller and get to see her fleshed out more as a result.
