I threatened Aaron with my comments for a day or so now and here they are! Duursema is locked in on this title and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for the “Force Storm” that is coming. The fight scenes are dynamic and the large panels are intricate and easy on the eyes. There is no indication that this book was rushed at any point and the pencils are rock solid on every page. From start to finish this issue is consistent in it’s quality. Jan Duursema is not only penciling the best Star Wars art in comics, she’s laying down some of the most solid art in comics, period. The art is where this book really shines. This issue does not feel as tight, for lack of a better term, than the last two, but it is a solid story nonetheless. Keeping this book familiar yet original is a fine line to walk and Ostrander is walking it very well so far. Add in some ominous figures and the foreboding mention of a “Force Storm” and you’ve got an entertaining adventure book set in a galaxy we know and love, yet know very little about all at the same time. The Je’Daii are philosophers, but they know how to throw down as well. This issue continues the excellent pace Ostrander has set up so far in the series, slowly peeling away the layers of the storm that is brewing while interspersing the mystery with some fantastic action that readers expect from a Star Wars title. John Ostrander is building the framework for the world we all know and love to rest on top of and he is definitely stepping up to the plate and taking the task head on. The saga of the Je’Daii continues in Dawn of the Jedi #3 this week and the plot just keeps getting thicker for Star Wars fans. STAR WARS: DAWN OF THE JEDI – FORCE STORM #3
