This incoherent mess almost put me right off this series. The passage of time and space seem irrelevant as Kerra Holt bounces from one Sith brother to the other with no apparent difficulty in logistics. The most interesting character was Damien who believes he is the creator of the universe and everything in it. However, his postulating gets old very quickly as it's clear he's mostly bark without any real bite.
There is some semblance of characterisation as Kerra tries to bring a former Jedi back into active service but it was lazily done with no real pay-off.
The artwork was okay-ish but suffered from some very obscure POV choices that suggested the artists really wanted to draw a lot of nostrils. Seriously! If you're into looking up nostrils this is the book for you. There are a number of quite unflattering angles. As the book moves through the collected comics the art style changes dramatically as does Kerra's likeness. She definitely becomes more attractive and curvaceous as the story progresses.
After ploughing through a good chunk of my collection of Star Wars graphic novels, this one brought me to a lengthy standstill.
