The one thing this comic did well was showing something that everyone from star wars fandom needed to see:Anakin growing up. We needed to see the growing pains, the inner turmoil. We saw a glimpse of that with his desire to leave the order and briefly from his conversations with palpatine. other than that, the story was dull but the illustrations were beautiful.

I really enjoyed this comic! The foreshadowing and the easter eggs were great. The drawing was gorgeous! I wish there were more.

Hm. There are some serious high points in this book. The art, to start with, is absolutely gorgeous. And entirely unlike anything else that I've seen in the new Star Wars comics. It's far more stylized than the other books have been, and I loved that. The portion of the story set on Coruscant was interesting to see, how Palpatine first came to meddle in Anakin's life. And Soule does a good job of showing the connection between Anakin and Obi-Wan. However, the bulk of the story, set on a planet e...

Vote: 3,5Marco Checchetto's artworks were just awesome and I liked a lot the Anakin/Palpatine's sub-plot, but the main storyline was just far from being really interesting for me.Such a shame :/

Good to see Obi-Wan and Anakin in their own comic. Hope they will be able to fix the Open and Closed War. Glad that the people may finally know peace.Can't wait to read more Star Wars comics!!!!!

Solid 3 stars. It's never quite the fun Obi-Wan and Anakin stuff we get in The Clone Wars. There's too much steampunk stuff going on as well. The high points are the flashbacks to coruscant with Palpatine and some other familiar faces.

An interesting look at Anakin's training early on with Obi-Wan, as well as the impact both the Republic and force users have on the galaxy around them. Full review to come.

Charles Soule's Marvel work has been lackluster at best. So I was pleasantly surprised that this was actually good. Obi-Wan and Anakin are sent to investigate a distress signal on a planet that is supposed to be abandoned. The debris field around the planet is almost impossible to get through and they crash land. They soon find their are survivors on the planet and they are at war. In fact, the war has been going on for so long that no one knows which side actually destroyed the atmosphere by un...

I'm a big fan of the Obi-Wan and Anakin team; it's actually one of my favourite dynamics in the saga; and I enjoyed this book quite a bit.The only thing I felt let it down a bit was that the planet it takes place on didn't feel very 'Star Wars-y' to me. I know, I know... it's a big galaxy with plenty of room for lots of varied planets, but this one just felt a bit too cyberpunk for my tastes. Still, an OK read.

Actual rating: 4.5 stars.I have no idea why this is rated as low as it is, and why a lot of people I've hear talk about this book say it was a let down. I think it helps to show how strong the bonds between Anakin and Obi-Wan and Anakin and Sheev (the Chancellor) are respectively.I wish Disney would go back and do more stories like this before the original trilogy rather than just ignoring the prequels. Where the prequel's great? No. Are they really all that bad? Again, no. They are certainly di...

One star for the art and half a star because it's Star Wars.

When you have a successful franchise in your hand, what usually follows is a number of cash-grab merchandise, including comic-books and novels, that are devoid of any emotional weight. However, Star Wars: Obi-Wan & Anakin, doesn't feel like one. Equipped with outstanding artwork, the book delivers an impressive story as well, that serves as an allegory for the Jedi-Sith war itself.

The prequel era is by far my least favorite Star Wars setting--the movies really ruined the stories that I'd looked forward to for most of my life. I don't enjoy the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, and so it's predictable the this graphic novel was going to be a hard sell for me. Setting it in the time between Episodes 1 and 2 was actually a really good choice. Though I didn't love the story, I liked it more than I expected. It reminded me a little bit of the Kanan graphic novel, which

What a great little Star Wars tale! Obi-Wan and Anakin takes places a few years after the events of Phantom Menace. Anakin is a gifted young Jedi Padawan, but he has great trouble in controlling his emotions. Anakin is starting to think that perhaps the Jedi order is not for him. In order for his master Obi-Wan and he to think things over, Yoda send them both to investigate a Jedi distress call from a far part of the galaxy.What follows is a great story about war, hate and the mindset of people

Excellent series. Couldn't ask more from a 5 Volume comic.Anakin and Obi-Wan show something that everyone from star wars needs to see. Anakin growing up.Something that the prequels didn't do the best job at(disclaimer, I love the prequel trilogies for what they are, faults and all), is portraying Anakin's emotional slide to the dark side. Overall, there are about 6+ hours of footage that can be crammed into the films. Sure the main plot points and events that caused that(for the most part) are t...

Loved it! we see in those 5 issues Anakin's confusion, he doesn't know where he belongs. The story covers past and present, we see how chancellor palpatine is trying to trick Anakin[past], and we will know about a new planet where Open and Close are fighting each other[present]

I wasn't impressed. The plotline on Carnelion IV looked like it was heavily borrowed from "The Uncertain Path" by Jude Watson. (view spoiler)[Seriously, - Anakin who wants to leave the order like Obi-Wan did- two sides that have been fighting each other for so long they don't even remember why they started in the first place- "the young" as a hope for peaceAt least the story of "The uncertain path", being a book, had room to breath and it was good. I definitely cannot say the same thing for this...

Set between (shudder) The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Anakin Skywalker answer a distress call on a mysterious planet - and quickly become embroiled in a bitter conflict between two sides. Yuck, a prequel comic! Well there had to be one for the (misguided) fans of those movies, eh? And what a stinker it is! Yeah there are flashbacks to features of those awful movies which leave an awful taste behind but it’s Charles Soule’s crummy writing th...

If Marvel Comics’ Star Wars titles were limited to only the main title series, “Darth Vader”, and “Doctor Aphra”, life would be good. Thankfully, there are dozens of titles within the Star Wars line, some of them great, some of them mediocre. I give Marvel credit for trying.We’ve been blessed with dozens of mini-series based on beloved well-known characters (“Princess Leia”, “Lando”, “Han Solo”, and “Chewbacca”) along with newer characters (“Kanan”, “Poe Dameron”, and “Cassian Andor”). Thankfull...

3*5This was interesting, I loved seeing obi-wan and Anakin after phantom menace but the constant time jumps was a little confusing as I was reading until the ending where it all wrapped up nicely and punched me in my feels...this was still a good one especially if you love Anakin!
