Now, "Dray" isn't "Draay"... but I don't think it would be a stretch for the latter to have been based on the former.


LOL. Maybe Barrison Draay was the CLONE of Barrison Dray!!! whistling tongue

He said they have no plans to use Kreia any time soon, he did say that it didnt mean they would never use her...he said that for a reason.

Wow, Xamar is becoming a very interesting character now. When Raana Tey died she still seemed more crazy than anything else, Feln was just a jerk, but Xamar seems a lot more intelligent than anyone else in the Covenant right now.

I still like the Lucien introspective scene. He's a jerk, and a villain, but I think he honestly does think he's doing everything for a greater good, not to mention he still has... issues with his parents. More Rohmagol hints, and I hope Zayne gets a chnce to think more about how different Rohlan seems. Reminds me of how Zayne noticed that it was odd that Celeste knew the of the Covenant title before he told her, and then next issue finds out she's an agent of that Covenant. Rohlan the Questioner never lacked in daring, but lately "Rohlan" sure seems eager to run whenever possible.

Xamar's a very interesting character right now. He always seemed the most... intelligent, or hesitant character all the way back from the intro Taris arc, and glad to see he didn't just jump into a fighter and get felled. But as it turns out, the blockade does work for the most part, but holding Zayne and Gryph at lightsaber point isn't good either, but at least Vandar and Vrook have actually seen it. Though while Vrook is still a close-minded jerk, he does raise some good points, about how it seems like Krynda's one of the last old Sith War heroes, and how even if Zayne drags in a bunch of Sith artifacts, the Covenant could just blame it on the Mandalorians (and the Mandalorians were collecting Sith stuff too, based on Pulsipher's lab). But guess he can see how things are turning out, with how the Covenant is spiralling out of control, so for now, it looks more like he's keeping his options open. He could either kill Zayne, and maybe finally end this whole mess, or turn himself in and hope for leniency rather than go down with the Covenant.

Heh, yeah, the Gryph Hammerhead line was great, and I love Jarael's opening line when she stepped off the ship. And I liked Carth's appearance. He can't disobey orders, but sounds like the Moomo's ship really is tough, anyway so they're not that big of a threat. And he still mangaes to let Zayne get away, and even he realizes just how lucky Zayne is. And wow, Zayne's a lot more commanding these days. And so it comes down to Zayne and Gryph once again, just like it was in the beginning.

Although I'm still somewhat worried about how Gryph escaped Serocco. And a bet on Taris, either that refers all the way back to when Gryph helped break Zayne out of the Jedi Tower there, or during those missing months apart from Zayne when he was on Taris. Or maybe I'm just being too paranoid about how possessive he is about that crate full of Sith stuff too. wink


Great issue though I wish we could've seen Zayne getting through that blockade somehow, though this solution works too, and this way, Carth still helps out a little, though I hope he doesn't get demoted again for this, but the next Vindication arc is shaping up really nicely. The art for this issue was ok, not really my favorite, but there have been worse months. And I like how it sounds like Vandar has gotten all the hints Zayne's been trying to send (with his father, and now "Malak" and Shel to directly deliver messages. Odd how reluctant Malak was about being away from the war effort, saying that he owed Zayne, but at least he's still helping out. And at long last, we finally have Zayne meeting with Vandar face to face, as otherwise, we never saw Vandar and Zayne in one place, I think, even if Zayne's being held at lightsaber point, but I really doubt that would be enough to kill Zayne, I half-expect Slyssk to show back up to redeem his "life-debt" and provide a distraction, or Zayne's vambraces might be very useful too.

And funny new Star Wars figurine advertisement on the back of the issue. I still prefer the first one with Cade and Krayt as that one was more silly, while this one seems a bit more... ridiculous. And nice, they even have the KotOR cmapign guide on the back, though its so tiny its kinda hard to make out Zayne on there.

Oh wait...that was an advertisement for the Clone Wars movie. Sorry, false alarm.
Okay, that was funny! laugh


Anybody know who drew the KotOR Minis ad on the back? It looks awesome! grin

That I don't know. I can usually tell artists by their Gryph, but this is a new model. I imagine someone at WotC wrote it. I enjoyed the heck out of it!

I'll try to find out who did the art.

It actually kind of looks like Jan's art; it's definitely not one of the standard KotOR artists.

Could someone get a pic of the ad up? I won't be heading out to get this issue until the weekend but this sounds very, very cool.

EDIT: Ah, behold...the internet.

Not as funny as I thought it would be...but still pretty cool.

Finally, some progress on the "Rohlan" front. I guess Demogol ain't Human after all-- I'm still hoping he's a Muun, mostly for comedic purposes, but my money's on Arkanian.



Oh yeah, and the rest of the issue was excellent too. tongue

The art of the add is almost certainly Jan's. Zayne even has the little "Force-glow" around his hand in one of the panels. tongue

Here's hoping the next issue vindicates all our theories about "Rohlan". wink

I want to see Jan do just 1 issue of KotOR now. I rather like her Zayne and Jarael. Her Sion and Mandalore are pretty sweet, as well.

ETA: Anyone else amused by the fact that this month the amount of discussion for KotOR and Legacy is neatly reversed from the norm? mischief

Oh man, if there was a Rebellion or Dark Times this week it'd be well over 20 pages by now!

I don't know. I kinda like all the hinting and winking. tongue

Honestly, I don't think that Vindication will have enough time for a major Rohmagol subplot, since it looks to be focused on the Jedi. So, I'm sure the Jarael-Rohmagol Mystery will continue into the next "season" of KotOR.
