A counterpoint to the Anakin Skywalker story released a week prior, Age of Republic – Count Dooku is at once a one-shot that is an entertaining and immersive glimpse of a character rarely given his due, and a part of a larger conversation in the back-and-forth heroes and villains format of the Age of Republic series from Marvel. In this issue, Count Dooku is on a mission to Sullust, at once accomplishing a task for his Master, Darth Sidious, and also pursuing his own hidden agenda. We glimpse into his backstory as he fought to hide his dark nature from the Jedi. Plus, the art by Luke Ross masterfully conveys the gravitas of Lee that we see onscreen!
