Description

One hundred and thirty years after its defeat at Endor, the Empire reclaimed control of the galaxy, crushing the Galactic Alliance and scattering the Jedi Order. Since then, Admiral Gar Stazi and his small fleet of survivors have carried out hit-and-run attacks on the galaxy's Imperial oppressors. Their resources are running out and soon they will be fighting for mere survival. A new mission undertaken by the Admiral will test the temper of the ruling Emperor Darth Krayt and undermine his attemts to find and use the last surviving Skywalker to obtain final domination of the galaxy.

I've said it before: the best parts of Legacy are those without Cade Skywalker. So, given he doesn't show up at all in this volume, it turns out pretty well. This volume's four issues (disappointingly few after Shards's seven) make up three side stories, mostly focusing on the growing Galactic

Alliance Remnant and its rebellion against the Sith Empire. The best of these is "Indomitable", about Admiral Gar Stazi taking the fight to Mon Calamari. Stazi is 100% awesome (of course he is, he's an old-guard authority figure) and its enjoyable tale. "The Wrath of the Dragon" and "Into the Core" suffer from being done-in-ones, especially given how much is going on in the former. The art is pretty good. Duursema might not contribute, but Omar Francia's work in "Indomitable" and "Into the Core" is solid; even his Mon Cals are expressive! On the other hand, Alan Robinson's illustrations for "The Wrath of the Dragon" are usually ugly or confusing, frequently both.

A good collection of tales of the important events in the galaxy that happen far away from Cade Skywalker and his comrades. Some fine examples of heroism from the Galactic Alliance, the Imperial Knights, and even a Sith Lord.

The events in this Graphic Novel take places 137 years after the Battle of Yavin. If you don't know when that is, or what that battle refers to, this is probably not a good place to start. The art work in this novel was done by Omar Francia and Alan Robinson. The artwork is not nearly as impressive

as others in the series, and pales compared to Vol. I.

This is actually a collection of stories from different perspectives in the same time frame, but, as its Vol. IV, you would definitely want to read the first III before starting this one. Not that it's impossible to follow, but it does not work well as a stand-alone.

The first Mon Cal arc wasn't my favorite. The art wasn't to the level of what has come before and the story seemed to drag on. The Darth Wyyrlok arc was better, but he seems too overpowered.
