Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic #39 REVIEW

source: ComicList

Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic #39 Dark Horse Comics Miller, Ching & Atiyeh The issue begins by introducing Goethar. He’s a hybrid of gladiator and pod racer. Basically he’s an entertainer with all kinds of handlers and leeches helping to suck him dry and keep him earning them money. He retires. The premise is good. Pod racing, gladiator events, a father-son dynamic, some gambling and crooked scum. It’s a fun Star Wars story if you ask me. The artwork is good but is at its best when it shows off the games. The easy thing to do would have been to use scenes from the Phantom Menace, but this comic redefines these events and puts a unique stamp on them. Also the art takes advantage of showing off some alien characters nicely.
