This week, I wrapped up the Jedi Academy: Leviathan series. While I was hoping for a Hogwarts for Jedi, it's closer to an X-Men equivalent. The Jedi in training, at least the ones in the story, are all adults. Luke sends them on a mission as part of their training then worries about them while they're away - clear Charles Xavier stuff.
It's a decent series - light and rather obvious on the dialogue, heavy on the action sequences. As such, it's certainly a quick read. It was enough to reignite my interest in Jedi lore.

There's something to be said for comics that are quick reads because of a lack of words. I'm not sure what that is, but I know there's something.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it makes for a fun change. And if it were for something other than endless fight scenes, I would feel more charitable.
DeleteMy favorite thing about the Punisher comics when I was reading those was that they were about 5 minute reads. :P
DeleteMe neither before now. I was rather busy with other things in 1998-99. Like meeting my wife.
