Publisher summary:
After a brutal takeover of Corellia, Kylo Ren begins a new quest! The young tyrant begins his search for one of the last of the Order 66 surviving Jedi! Who is this mysterious Jedi, and how did she escape the brutal takedown of her people?
Marvel Comics
Why it matters: Kylo again firmly establishes himself as the leader of the First Order after killing Snoke, as he secures a valuable planet in powering their empire.
Key moments:
Siege on Corellia: As we saw in Resistance Reborn by Rebecca Roanhorse, the First Order had a firm grip on Corellian shipyards by the events of The Rise of Skywalker. However, no one could’ve predicted the epic manner in which Kylo took control.
A Throne fit for a King: General by day, designer by night. Hux finally made Kylo his throne that he requested in the beginning of the series, with their relationship set in stone.
Jedi Revealed: Vaneé sent Kylo on his quest to defeat a Jedi, like his grandfather before him. He journeys to a remote planet, with an incredibly atmospheric feel.
Marvel Comics
The big picture: This series is back with a bang, as Soule delivers another stellar entry. We get even more development of the strained relationship between Kylo and Hux, as the former takes charge in military operations. One starts to wonder when Kylo’s overconfidence will come back to bite him. But, the issue doesn’t just end there. We also get even more of Vaneé testing the Supreme Leader. The atmospheric storytelling from Ross and Woodard on this snowy planet is superb. We can’t wait for this series to return next month as Kylo is truly tested.
Our rating: Masterpiece
What’s next: Legacy of Vader returns with #7 as Kylo takes on the rogue Jedi on August 6, 2025.
