Star Wars: Jedi vs. Sith

If yoou have read the novels by Karpyshyn, you'll love this TPB. The comic covers all events thru the first Darth Bane book "Path of Destruction", as well as the first few chapters into the second novel "Rule of Two". The roll of main character is shifted from Bane himself, to a trio of cousins, one of whom becomes Banes apprentice Darth Zhanna. This paperback helps to fill in the blanks of the war between the Kaan's Sith Brotherhood of Darkness against Hoths Jedi Army of Light, while Bane is studying on Korriban. If you're a fan of the Darth Bane Dualogy, you'll love this book.

There's a possibility you fall into one of two groups: you're looking for SW comics about Sith or you just read the latest Darth Bane book and are looking for SW comics about Sith. This comic can either satisfy or dissapoint you depending on what are you looking for. There are a couple of Sith moments in the comic (which the story is supposed to be Sith centered) but is more of a story of how things can be heroic from a certain point of view and when you change it it looks completely different. The comic posses a good question about the nature of evil. As you know, there's pure natural evil, but there's also the slight "maybe it is, maybe it isn't, from a certain POV" evil. If you read the Darth Bane novel this will be a good complement (with some slight changes in the sequence of events), if you're looking for a comic it is a good read that will leave you asking more question than when you began.

A seriously underrated piece in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Jedi vs. Sith tackles some serious issues, especially what "is" and what "isn't" a Jedi in a far more mature way than other works.

I think this was a really well written story, whose characters were well thought out. I really hope the Dark Horse Comics does more this Time Period in the Star Wars Timeline.

This book has it all. Do you want to get away from the movies and other books put between a little before episode one and 25-30 years after episode 4, get this graphic novel. The three kids make the comic great. You get to see Tomcat, his cousin, and his little sis have their fate combined. They must chose the sides of which they will stand by. See what happens in the great battle and the surprising ending. Also you get to see whats happening w/ illustrations instead of words. This graphic novel is a must-get.
