5.0 out of 5 stars A Series You Just Can't Afford To Miss!, August 12, 2002

This review is from: Star Wars - Dark Forces: Rebel Agent (Paperback)

I bought this graphic novel on a whim! I'm an avid Star Wars fan and am willing to read anything Star Wars. However, graphic novels tend to be expensive, so I usually just satisfy my Star Wars cravings with a regualr novel. I saw my opportunity to check out this portion of the Dark Forces trilogy, based upon the Dark Forces video game, when it was marked down as a special deal in a local store. I figured that if I didn't like the novel, I didn't pay much for it, and I can sell it off. Well, I can say with confidence that there is no way I'm going to sell this graphic novel!...
...Not only will you find the story entertaining, but the artwork is amazing. The novel has 25 lithograph-style pictures beautifully done by Ezra Tucker. The story is full of action and you'll find yourself rooting for Kyle and his partner Jan. I find myself wanting to get a hold of the rest of the series! Definitely a trilogy worth checking out!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, muted art work, April 27, 2004

This review is from: Star Wars - Dark Forces: Rebel Agent (Paperback)

The is the second of the Dark forces trilogy, telling us the story of Kyle Katarn. Kyle is both an action figure and the guy who captured the death star plans. This was originally a game but you shouldn't hold that against this book. I didn't like the style of the art work, as it was done in a muted washed out looking style. This trilogy should be part of your collection

This review is from: Star Wars - Dark Forces: Rebel Agent (Paperback)

I kept putting off purchasing the Dark Forces graphic novel series, but I finally gave in. I was pleased with what I found. This is the first volume of the trilogy and I enjoyed it immensely. Good artwork complemented a description of the Kyle Katarn's beginnings as an Imperial cadet. We see Kyle struggling with his morals as he becomes increasingly against Imperial rule and, once he finds out the Imperials killed his father, joins the Rebel Alliance. The story weaves into the first level of the Dark Forces PC game and concludes with the Rebels obtaining the schematics of the first Death Star. I recommend the whole Dark Forces series. It was very fun to see Kyle Katarn outside of a PC.
