At long last, Padawan Zayne Carrick confronts the Jedi Masters who framed him for murder!

The prophecy that was seen by Zayne’s Masters appears to be coming true. Two pieces of the sequence have come to pass . . . and those who remain alive are still fighting to prevent their vision from becoming a reality. The Jedi Consulars are beginning to doubt themselves and it’s possible they have overlooked a true source of danger!

Wow! That's...unexpectedly early. I mean, awesome, and I'm sure it's not the end of the tale, but that's only five issues away suggesting Zayne confronts the Blue Dude and moves on to some sort of confrontation with Lucien and the masters are actively considering whether they're somehow mistaken.

INTRIGUING.

Intriguing is the word. thinking

So, it would seem then that the larger KOTOR story is not a 100 issue hunt for the five Masters then. Interesting. If the prophecy is coming 'true' then, does that mean the Revanchist faction is going to be going dark soon? mischief

As I recall it, when Revan became a Sith is unclear other than that we have a few fixed dates for when he and Malak began their search for the Star Forge. However, it will be interesting if we are going to see Malachor earlier. Joining the dots, it gets trashed at the end of the Mandalorian Wars, so it would actually stand to reason to see him using Trayus Academy to convert people earlier than that... which would be creepy indeed if Zayne gets caught up in it all. He has a habit for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. wink

So... dark, maybe not Sith, but potentially shedding light on Malachor? praying

Whatever happens... this looks sweet. I'm glad the story is really picking up. The main story was quite spread out in the earlier arcs with the Adasca stuff, etc, but, wow, its really picking up now.

Zayne's in that position against Masters a lot. He should learn how to hold on to his saber and not fall.

That cover will be hilarious if it turns out that Lucien is just trying to cut Zayne's chains off. tongue

Oh wow. I didn't expect their confrontation to happen that quickly.
I truly hope this is not the end of the series. worried

Two pieces of the sequence have come to pass

Feln, you're going down!

The cover is good, Ching's covers usually are. Although I keep wishing for Dustin's pencils to return to the scene once more, but that unfortunately won't happen in near future. sad

I quite enjoyed that though. Yes, it was a little spread out, but it gave us a lot of info on KOTOR era and especially the characters. I was looking to finding out more about Jarael, Gryph, Rhomagol. And the identity of the Corellian Strangler. wink
Also, that was adventuring, it was interesting and fun. I would like it to continue.

I'm not sure if lucian is going to turn out to be sion, but i do think he may be the danger, not zane. It's nice to have ching back on the book.

Hmm, two pieces? So that's Raana and Feln. Just Q'Anilia left.

Hmm I do hope this doesn't mean KOTOR is going to jump ahead or something, I want to see the early days of the Jedi Crusade, when Revan and Alek get their behinds handed to them by the Mandalorians, only to later "blossom" into awesomeness.

Ah, poor Zayne, in chains yet again. Wow, looks like Zayne's ready to face his former Masters directly. Hm, doubt, it would be nice if they actually put some more thought into that prophecy instead of just continuing to hunt Zayne. Of course, these days, it seems more like a self-fulfilling prophecy, with how two will have died by this issue, roughly following their vision probably. Yay for Zayne though. Wow, by issue #40, Zayne might clear his name, but then again, there's still Jarael, and who knows how many other plot threads still going, and watching Zayne's exploits is enough entertainment too.

Yeah I was just thinking that, though it does underline how he is far from a horrifying future Sith Lord set to wreak havok upon an unsuspecting galaxy. tongue

Doesn't he die at Foerost or something, attacked by those who switch sides over to Revan? That's all I can remember about him from the vision on the rogue moon.

That's one awesome looking cover, Ching is just great. And he's at the penciling again!

I doubt this is the end of the series, as there are so many mysteries that need to be explored. Also, building the Mandalorian War in the beginning then stopping mid-way is just plain evil - it's such a wonderful war to explore. But I would hate them if they skipped 2 years into the future just to get to Malachor. I'd love to see the Beast riders and Oron Kira again. In one issue, the Revanchist is said to be exploring the Dxun moon - seems to be building up for something to happen there.

I was hoping to get a glimpse at Onderon since the series started. grin That would be one great adventure to see if Zayne's exploits lead him and his friends there.
I think Oron is dead by that time, though.
