Collecting Star Wars: Thrawn #1-6. Hes one of the most cunning and ruthless warriors in the history of Star Wars! Now, discover how Grand Admiral Thrawn became one of the most feared military tacticians in a galaxy far, far away. Jody Houser and Luke Ross adapt Timothy Zahns New York Times best-selling novel about Thrawns rise through the Imperial ranks! Meet young Lieutenant Thrawn, who graduated the Imperial Academy with the highest marks possible. Hes been assigned his own personal assistant, Ensign Eli Vanto, and is ascending quickly  but that doesnt mean everyone in the Imperial Navy wants him to succeed. And Thrawn isnt the Empires only rising star  so is Arihnda Pryce. The two rivals paths will cross, and tensions will run high, when they discover a dark secret within the Empire.

Set in 32BBY

Maul's on a mission. Maul's in character. The artwork is amazing. What more do you want to get prepared just before you watch Episode I? 

"This death satisfies nothing." - Darth Maul

Nice little add-on to the character's lore. Maul is going to the worst of the worst places, to find some kinda mercenary and have a deal with a bunch of criminals and whatnot, he's more talkative than usual but not much, just enough. He's not thinking anything else than just the end of the Jedi.

This is what the Jedi are. A lie told to a desperate galaxy." - Darth Maul

We also some some interesting scenes I'd say, that we see Maul from another perspective, and it handled pretty well, with again -I can't stress this enough-- some really good artwork. 

"Remember that your anger is a tool. It's not your master." - Darth Sidious

Vicky (A City Girl's Thoughts)

Excellent short read about Thrawn's continued success and the beginning of his rivalry with Governor Pryce. I'm not sure which book in the Thrawn Trilogy this covers but the comics are great to read if you're short on time.

Cómo todo el universo expandido, agrega información y personajes. Personalmente encontré en este una mezcla, aunque sobre todo me introdujo a personajes nuevos.

Sans

Gives the broad strokes from the novel but is light on detail and substance. Too bad; it could have been good.

Age Of Republic - Heroes

Jane Krauss

This was an era I have always wanted to delve into. Seeing Anakin as a Padawan was great. But, oh my goodness, so many red flags are brought up. The character development in this comic was really well done. The glimpses of Palpatine's manipulation of the upbringing of Anakin spoke volumes. Furthermore, seeing his grip over the Jedi Council is also telling. 
It was a fascinating premise, and I enjoyed it a lot.
