Questionable Decisioning, Awkward Artwork
Anakin started his training as a boy, so he's been doing this stuff for a number of years, yet the comic reads like he was picked up off of the streets yesterday and handed a light saber. Speaking of the weapon, either it's a dangerous thing he'd never lose sense of, or it's harmless in the hands of a non-Jedi...in which case he wouldn't have broken so many 'laws' or diplomatic etiquette to retrieve. The only one who seemed to have their character right is perhaps Obi-Wan in a few instances.
Some panels didn't have the faces right, Anakin looks like a fifty-year old in one of them, a young Clint Eastwood in another, and Dave Coulier in the next. Facial expressions don't seem to match the scene or are well overly dramatic for a Jedi. Overall there's something that doesn't sit right with the portrayal of this king, like some sort of middle-east stereotype that I'm not privy to. I think I'll give future readings in the series a pass.

A fun little outing. Kind of old school feel.
