Publisher summary:
Axil Research Station is in chaos! After a massive explosion rocked the underwater base, Jedi Master Kit Fisto and his Padawan, Nahdar Vebb, try to evacuate as many people as possible. But time is running out! Seawater is flooding the station, and with giant beasts lurking in the depths, it's a race to make it to the surface…

Why it matters: Ever since his debut as the cool, smiling jedi in Attack of the Clones, Kit Fisto has been a fan favorite. In his first ever comic as a lead character, he displays the perfect ideals of a Jedi Master and ambassador.
Key moments:
Peaceful protectors: Qui-Gon Jinn showed us that Jedi should remain cool under pressure. Kit Fisto takes that philosophy to new heights, not only calmly handling an intense situation but doing so with a smile on his face.
There’s always a bigger fish: This underwater adventure is a perfect setting for adventure. Action scenes are highlighted by pitting the Jedi against a series of massive sea monsters, beautifully designed by Luis Morocho.
Secret plots: Unsurprisingly, the disaster facing Kit Fisto is intentional, courtesy of a masked saboteur. While the action is the highlight, the mystery keeps the story moving forward.
Dark Horse Comics
The big picture: These Hyperspace Stories from Dark Horse have become the perfect access point for Star Wars adventure. Tides of Terror feels like a story straight out of The Clone Wars, nailing the tone of that anthology series. Not every Star Wars story needs to be galaxy-changing. Sometimes it’s nice to just pick a few of your favorite characters and see them go on a fun Jedi adventure. Once again, George Mann nails the assignment, adding to a growing catalog of killer stories for fans of all ages.
Our rating: Incredible
