Rating: 4/5
Kanan manages to capture the feel of the Star Wars movies without relying on the central characters. The character is connected to the Star Wars Rebels series, which I've never seen so I have no idea how this compares. I do know that I enjoyed this book a lot.
His story picks up near the end of the Clone Wars, when the slaughter of the Jedi is ordered. From there, he is on the run trying to survive in a universe that he is ill prepared for. There is some tension as the clone troopers from his old squad are hunting him down. Kanan has to forget much of his training to make it, even going so far as to throw in with a smuggler. I like that this gets wrapped back into the present day of the other Star Wars comics that Marvel has been putting out.
The art is great. There are so many strange elements in Star Wars, so having this visual medium to convey the story works wonderfully. It makes it so easy to get a sense of the different characters in a very short period of time. This book is exactly what I want from a Star Wars comic because it makes excellent use of the setting and tells a fun story at the same time.
