Product Description
Thousands of years before Luke Skywalker would destroy the Death Star in that fateful battle above Yavin 4, one lone Padawan would become a fugitive hunted by his own Masters, charged with murdering every one of his fellow Jedi-in-training! From criminals hiding out in the treacherous under-city of the planet Taris, to a burly, mysterious droid recovered from the desolate landscape of a cratered moon, Padawan Zayne Carrick will find unexpected allies in his desperate race to clear his name before the unmerciful authorities enact swift retribution upon him!

 Great story! February 16, 2007

I just recently started playing KOTOR again, and saw this book at my local comic shop and decided to pick it up. I got home that same evening and was going to browse through it while I waited for the game to load. Instead, I ended up reading it cover to cover and forgot all about the game! It's great! I became so totally immersed in the story that the next day, I went out and picked up issues 7-12. I recommend it even if you've never played the games.
Outstanding! June 8, 2007

As a fan of Star Wars I was not disappointed by this book. Without giving much away, it really captured the feel of Star Wars for me with high action, comedy, some drama, and the occasional serious overtones. It both entertained me and made me think a little. It has some interesting plot points which make you think and creates a mystery type feel to the book. I'd highly recommend this to anyone: casual fans and hardcore addicts will find plenty to enjoy here. (Also, if you've ever been disappointed with other Star Wars books which seem a little too serious or sad (Tales of the Jedi), this one does a good job of not being too sad while still being true to the 'realistic' (bad things happen sometimes) feel of Star Wars.
P.S. It collects issues 1-6 of the series.
KOTOR April 10, 2008

I played the KOTOR game and loved it, So when I heard they were making a comic book that was going to take place during the mandalorian wars I was very excited. This comic is different enough from the game to be a separate story, but still have that KOTOR feeling. I really enjoyed reading it and will probably start collecting the comics.
Great Star Wars fun!! July 10, 2009

Remember when you played the 1st KOTOR game? You felt like this was as good as the original movies. You'll feel the same way when you read this comic. Now its not quite as good as the movies or the games... but, its got potential, and it still does deserves a 5/5. My only issue is further along with the series the "art" does get strange.
This series is worth a look buy this comic.
Retread April 15, 2010
Brent M. Ryan (Olympia, WA, USA)
I have played the games and I believe the story is what it claims to be: "Knights of the Old Republic". For those want something more original than the video game, then maybe you should look for something with a different name than a movie, game, or novel. The comic's title alone conveys that this is a retread of the video game series in a comic book format. Looking at the release date alone suggests it is obviously a retread.
I read a popular but extremely biased and negative view that used a new term {to me} of "retread". The premise was that this was somehow a bad thing. After half a decade I applaud and love a retread of a very popular video game into a new format. So, I embrace this term and use it in a positive premise. If you have never played the video games then I believe you may love the story as much as anyone else. If you do then I suggest purchasing the video games as the story is different and the storytelling format makes it even moreso.
BioWare is currently working on Star Wars: The Old Republic an online videogame, a Massively Multi-Player Role-Playing Game.{MMRPG} This is where they will be continuing the world of Knights of the Old Republic through video games.
I loved the game; And, when I saw this on the shelf I had to get it. After I finished reading it I immediately went onto Amazon.com and put all the volumes currently out, and even preordered volume 9, in my shopping cart. The first volume does a very good job of giving you an idea of where the story is headed in the future volumes without making it too predictable. The story is rich with emotion and the artwork is excellent. I think that almost anyone who takes the time to read Volume 1 will enjoy it; This is why I give it 5/5 stars.
