I'm guessing the Jedi doesn't survive the comic. wink

I'm not a big fan of the cover. It looks too... fake...

I am really looking forward to this series, although will most likely wait for the TPB release.

I really hope we get to find out about the past / origins of Greivous in a flashback, or something similar in this comic.

What is his motivation? What drives him to kill the Jedi? Why did he join the Seperatists?

I wonder what the shipment will be? Perhaps Cortosis Ore, or something like that?

It's probably right after Obsession, I would think, but before LoE. I could be wrong, though wink

I think that it's one of the things that's leading up to Episode III

Anyone care to speculate on what the cargo is?

Hmm. I wonder if it's the same cargo Grievous has been talking about in Reversal of Fortune. Hmm.

I agree about the cover, but it should be fun anyway.

Depending on when it occurs, the cargo sounds like it could be lightsabers, though why they would be on a cargo ship I don't know.

Sue Rostoni said that it takes place "some months" before ROTS. But that's too vague to figure anything out. We'll have to wait until Leland gets back from wherever he's been hybernating. wink
