To back things up a bit, I subscribe to around 20 comic books a month, and the list seems only to expand. I read basically every X-men related title, every Star Wars title and a few other titles, I usually pick up whatever looks good.
With this being a light week in comics I went to the book store to check the new releases of graphic novels. When I walked in to that Starbucks of book stores, I saw it staring at me with its high gloss sheen.
The Force Unleashed, has finally (no pun intended) been unleashed upon fans. With constant delays in release, I had given up on the newest chapter in the Star Wars saga. I usually find that when I am extremely excited about something in Lucas's world I am not as satisfied as I should be.
This graphic novel was anything but disappointing. The story which takes place just a few years prior to Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope, relates the story of Darth Vader and his secret apprentice. The twists and turns the plot takes and the back story that is revealed are nothing short of jaw dropping.
I recommend any fan of Star Wars, or any fan of graphic novels pick up this geek masterpiece.
Disappointment of the week.... this award has consistently been going to X-Factor...... hopefully the creative team on this book can pull it out of this slump.
