SPOILER REVIEW: Marvel's Star Wars Kanan- The Last Padawan #2

Great issue! And yet another cliffhanger... I like how Kanan, after getting over the initial shock did not just tuck tail and run. He ran eventually, but not before taking a few clones out. And it wasn't like there were only three Clones attacking them - more like 50. His situation was hopeless (remembering back to the death of the padawan on the landing platform at the Jedi Temple in ROTS). He's just a scared kid with nowhere to run and no one to trust without the street smarts he needs to prevail. It will be interesting to see him grow over the course of this series. And @Kyle, enlighten me on the ship. I don't recall seeing this one before.

 

Pics are up. Thanks Kyle for yet another great review.

I agree with the other guys. I loved that issue. Actually I think the Kanan series is indeed the best one from the new comics, mainly because it is original. I think I had enough of Han Solo, Luke and Vader. I wanted something fresh. That's why I liked Princess Liea too. It explored a character that was very briefly touched in the movies. But the art of Princess Leia was a huge let down for me. On the other hand Kanan looks really great. I recommend it.

Also now is the time to point out that we're not affiliated with any comic book companies, we do these reviews just for the fans. I am doing this clarification because I saw some comments on the blog that we're affiliated with Marvel or Comixology. That's not true. Just have fun guys.

 

FYI Comic Book Fans: Marvel Unlimited is having a promo (I think it's still going on) for 1 month free of their service with promo code "ultron". Today they almost doubled their Star Wars Legends comic library. They have basically taken the old Dark Horse comics and put their name on them and labeled them legends. I have been wanting to catch up on the Legends comics as there are many more series that I wanted to read, but I don't want to throw my money at stories that (even though most are good in their own right) are not canon. Even after a month free, $9.99 per month is not bad for all the contect they have on there and you can still cancel before they charge you. I'm a Star Wars comic reading machine at the moment. And not to mention all the other Marvel content they have that's not SW related.

 

Yeah it is. The phone app is buggy and quite awful actually which sucks. But the tablet version runs great on my Samsung Tab 4 & the website version runs well on pc.

 

Yeah, I mentioned in my post that I was using this service to read the Legends material, but I should have mentioned that the Legends stuff is ALL that is currently available through the unlimited app. They have the original Marvel comics from back in the day and most of the Dark Horse comics (now branded under the Marvel name). While I know the new stuff will eventually make its way to this service, it would still be cool if it was on there. I guess they want to make those individual comic sales for a while before uploading it into their unltd library. But I buy the physical copies of the new canon comics anyway which come with a code for a free digital copy through Marvel's other app. They basically have one app for you to read your own personal collection that includes codes you obtain with physical copies and/or direct in-app purchases - and another app for the Unlimited service which has the same content readily available to all subscribers (about 15,000 + comics). I wish it was all merged into one app, but as of now it's separate. However, you can access the content from both apps on marvel.com as well, so I guess if you're at your computer it's all in one location. But I digress.

 

Um... I don't. It's not the same as the leaked concept art, is it? Doesn't match up when you consider the details... Unless I'm wrong of course!

 

Ah, okay. I see what you mean now.
