Jamie Connolly ，

I'm still reading this。 And it still sucks。 Not as awful as before。 But it's still really really really bad。 I'm not really sure why I'm still reading。 I keep forgetting to take it off my pull list do it keeps showing up and I can't just not read a perfectly good comic。 No matter how much it sucks。 And this comic sucks。 It sucks bad。 2 stars。 I'm still reading this。 And it still sucks。 Not as awful as before。 But it's still really really really bad。 I'm not really sure why I'm still reading。 I keep forgetting to take it off my pull list do it keeps showing up and I can't just not read a perfectly good comic。 No matter how much it sucks。 And this comic sucks。 It sucks bad。 2 stars。 。。。more

Reallllly interested in what’s going to happen in comic number 11…I have a feeling this has to do with the Leveler and if so， that’s realllllly bad。

A rock solid continuation of the “High Republic” comics line， “The Heart of the Drengir” sees writer Cavan Scott building upon the foundations he laid down in the first arc， while also ably tying in the ongoing storyline of the comic with the events of the broader “High Republic” event。 It’s an impressive balancing act， both paying off certain threads left hanging from the previous arc and setting up future storylines in a way that never feels contrived or half-baked。 Bring on Volume 3。

Man， there is so much going on at this point in the high republic。 The jedi are fighting wars on many fronts。 This one coincides with other works and has some great cameos in it。 I love the artwork and Cavan's writing。 He's a very busy writer in this era of Star Wars。 I can't wait to see what's coming next！ Man， there is so much going on at this point in the high republic。 The jedi are fighting wars on many fronts。 This one coincides with other works and has some great cameos in it。 I love the artwork and Cavan's writing。 He's a very busy writer in this era of Star Wars。 I can't wait to see what's coming next！ 。。。more

sorry！Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic Vol。 2 - Heart of the Drengir continues where we left off in Vol。 1， with an infested Sskeer and a very worried Keeve Trennis recuperating on Starlight Beacon， while Avar Kriss maintains a very uneasy alliance with the Hutts to combat the （literally！） growing threat of the Drengir。This arc is only three issues long。 They're all written by series writer Cavan Scott， and while the third issue is drawn by Ario Anindito， who did the preceding issues and at least the next two after this， Georges Jeanty， whom I remember from Dark Horse Comics' Buffy: Season Eight， stepped in to pencil the first two issues here。 Jeanty's style is a relatively stark contrast to Anindito's; the latter maintains a relatively close resemblance to life-like human faces， while Jeanty。。。 does not。 It's much more stylized art， and while that isn't quite as big a detriment here as it was in Buffy， where many of the characters were meant to mirror real life actors， it just feels off compared to the clean portraits I'd grown used to （and loved！） from Anindito。But the art is hardly a dealbreaker-- indeed， it only really feels notably different in the human faces， and many of the characters here are not human to start with！Now the story。。。 I thought the first issue of High Republic started strong， with headstrong Padawan Keeve Trennis abandoning her Jedi Trials in order to help others。 And in the following issues， I've really loved Keeve's bond with Sskeer。 One of the most compelling characters in the whole publishing initiative， the Trandoshan Jedi seems to drive the lion's share of the plot。 Which is fine， but。。。 where does that leave Keeve？ I have to admit that while I like her well enough， apart from cursing some， I don't have a very strong idea what kind of person she is other than a younger Jedi Knight。 I feel as though after this many issues， I ought to have a clearer idea who Keeve is as a character。 Perhaps it's the sheer amount of new characters across The High Republic， and that most of them are Jedi， but Keeve does not stand out all that much to me outside her relationship with her former Master。That being said， I will reiterate that I love Sskeer， and their team dynamic is very satisfying。 So although a vague protagonist is not a great starting point， there is a lot more to like in this series。I will never not love large groups of Jedi working together for the common good， and this arc has that in spades。In the context of the larger High Republic narrative， I think it's really interesting to have， on the one hand， in these comics， the Jedi allying themselves with criminals （the Hutts） in order to take swift action out on the frontier， and stamp out the threat of the Drengir; but on the other， in The Rising Storm， Race to Crashpoint Tower， and Out of the Shadows especially， we find the Jedi on arguably a MORE slippery slope: allying themselves more and more closely to the Republic， and becoming ever more embroiled in politics， foreshadowing their decline and eventual demise in the Prequel Trilogy。 The notion of outlaw justice versus （indefinitely delayed） action by committee is intriguing here， and I am dying to see Avar Kriss， Marshall of Starlight Beacon， reunite and compare notes with her old friend Stellan Gios， member of the Jedi High Council， and posterboy for the Jedi AND the Republic。 I suspect that they would have some pretty strong disagreements regarding how one another is handling their affairs， and while it was easy enough for the Jedi to turn their blades against the Hutts （for light and life！）， I'm curious to see if the choice to ally with them in the first place has any lingering consequences outside Kriss's reputation in the Order。It was nice to see Orla Jareni again， as well as Master Cohmac Vitus and his Padawan， Reath Silas。 It's really cool how the characters weave organically in and out of stories， and it was done very well here。Although。。。 regarding the time jump between the first two issues of the arc， finding Keeve staying behind on Starlight Beacon while Sskeer， Avar， and others were out fighting the Drengir was jarring。 That's kind of what I mean about Keeve。。。 was it her decision to stay behind？ It felt more passive than I'd have liked， and I'm hoping that she starts facing trickier choices than "Should I save Sskeer？" to which the answer will undoubtedly always be "yes。" 。。。more
