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.
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. 
Also, that was adventuring, it was interesting and fun. I would like it to continue.
Don't get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed the adventuring. I'm just now rather curious whether there was more to it than first met the eye. The way the story is suddenly picking up so rapidly is making me think perhaps all the Adasca and other stuff will come back to haunt Zayne eventually. Admittedly, I always did think there was something odd about a guy named after King Adas. 
What's interesting though is it may mean we'll soon get to see some adventuring from the other side of the war, as I can easily see Zayne joining up with the Revanchist faction and us seeing him dragged around the front lines. Of course, "only the Exile came back", but then, "Obi-Wan and Yoda were the last two Jedi", so I'm open to new possibilities.

The title of this arc is interesting. Vindication for Zayne? Or for the Covenant?

I can't believe this'll be 32 issues in. Doesn't seem like all that long ago we were on #1. Quite intriguing.

I think for once I actually agree with Ex. There's not actually a good reason for Lucien to be looking at the "camera" when he's going after Zayne.
Looks bad for Feln, though...

Will Zayne have a showdown with EVERY Jedi in the Covenant? We seem to have a running theme with the KotOR covers, here.

Hey, remember that the comic is (I believe) going for the undercurrent of a "video game" feel beneath everything else. Zayne starts out as a "poor Jedi" IU for whatever reason but OOU one of the reasons was to create the feeling of a gamer getting used to the controls.
It only makes sense that Zayne would have boss battles.

Ohhh, a 4-parter and a big, big story!
To those who think this means KOTOR will be ending, fear not, the Covenant are but a part of the story, not THE story. Plus at 30 issues in, it's time some arcs do get resolved, KOTOR has enough underway that it can resolve the Covenant arc, probably setting up a new arc in the process and address the other ones that are also running!

Sith King Adas. Is he really named after him, I mean, has it been confirmed?
I wonder if it is possible that they are related.  Maybe it's only a name similarity, but then again, the Adasca family goes a long way... However, Adas lived ages before KOTOR, even before the formation of the Republic. And it has been mentioned more than once that Arkoh is the 8th Lord Adasca. And eight generations is far too short time period for them to be directly related.
As for Adasca's return, well 'm not so sure if he could have survived the attack of Exogorths. He was probably destroyed with his ship. But that reminds me:
The only remaining heir to the House of Adasca is herself unaccounted for since the devastation of Serroco
There...is... a-no-ther Ad-as-ca.
She might as well be dead, but where would be the fun in that? The return of the villain's mysterious relatives is always a good material.
And I love the Holonet.  It was pure gold with all the little bits and pieces of the intriguing information it gave us. However, instead of casting light on things, it just opened up more questions and inspired more fantheorizing.

I would love to see some more of Revanchist, that's for sure.

Yup. However, since Lucien is his master, that technically makes him the big boss and I always thought that they come in the end of the chapter/game.

Depends. Most stories with enough substance usually have a confrontation halfway through.
Luke fought Vader in ESB.
Harry Potter fought Voldemort in GoF.
Revan fought Malak onboard the Leviathan.
Its possible this won't see Lucien dead but merely exposed as the true murderer leading into the second half of the story.
Alternatively, it may be the point Zayne realises the Covenant are not the real threat. After all, this is just one of their 'Watch Circles'. He has already fleetingly heard the name Krynda but knows nothing about her. Heck, we know nothing about her apart from that she was alive and having visions 20 or so years ago. I remain highly suspicious of why they haven't revealed her face in the present time period (i.e. I'll eat my hat if she isn't someone we already know or seriously disfigured or else not on Coruscant but actually living it up with some cultists on Malachor or whatever).
So, even if Lucien dies, it may emerge he was not the big boss after all and that the real bad guy is still out there. I'm guessing that will be Krynda.

Perhaps Jarael's mysterious genetics that were important to Adasca lead her to be the last remaining Heir...

I still think she's dead and Haazen is posing as her to give orders.
