The big picture: George Mann and the artist team of Luis Morocho and Michael Atiyeh delivered a great first issue to this new miniseries. Dark Horse has been on a great run with their Star Wars comics as of late, and this is no different. Kit Fisto is not a Jedi who has had much of the spotlight, even during Legends. So, it is great to see more of his story here. The art specifically is standout, with unique panel composition and vibrant colors. Although it is early on in this miniseries, we are excited to see where it goes.
