I'm honestly not sure if this comic makes any sense if you haven't read the book first.High points of this comic:• Eli Vanto's facial expression in every single panel• AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES• Extremely brief and visually captivating is the only manner in which Governor Pryce's storyline is acceptable. I'm pretty sure I zoned out through half of it when I was reading the book, but in this the bright colors and aesthetic way her evil little face is drawn kept me watching.• The panel that shows Th...

Is the graphic novel version of the book so if you read the book no point reading this.

Throwing in the towel at page 53. This started off promising, but devolved into the equivalent of trade embargo-style intrigue. Stultifyingly boring.

My prior knowledge of Thrawn comes from Wookieepedia browsing and the Rebels tv series. I haven't yet read Zahn's new canon or original legends books, yet. This book follows Thrawn's story from his first encounter with the Empire up until his time in Rebels. This is a story of a war strategist climbing the ladder. There's also the story of the politics of the Empire. Although Thrawn is at the center of all the action, Arihnda Pryce is heavily featured. I loved getting to see her backstory before...

Thrawn is one of the coolest characters I've read about. He has genius-level  intelligence, is always calm and composed, and always finds the most humane way of dealing with a problem. His tactical choices will get him in trouble with his superiors, but he always comes out in the end. He is one of the best things about the Empire, if you could say that. I can only imagine what he could have done for the other side. This miniseries highlights all his strengths and takes its time to tell the story...

The artwork here was fabulous; kudos to the artists!However, the plot was a bit lackluster and confusing, and some profanity was thrown into the mix.So, like most comic book omnibuses, this was yet another mixed bag.

Gives the broad strokes from the novel but is light on detail and substance. Too bad; it could have been good.

This was originally posted over at my blog, The Grimoire Reliquary. I've got a semi-regular weekly column with all the Star Wars content you might like--check it out!Is this a good adaptation of Timothy Zahn’s 2016 Thrawn novel? Yes. Should you read it if you haven’t read the novel first? I wouldn’t.Jody Houser, Luke Ross and Paul Renaud do a fine job of adapting this work but it’s inevitable that some elements of Zahn’s novel will be lost in the translation; Eli Vanto, our PoV protagonist sees...

I loved Timothy Zahn's "Thrawn" novel from last year, and was excited by the prospect of it being adapted into a comic miniseries. Zahn's novel was meticulous and dense, and did a stupendous job at reintroducing the iconic Expanded Universe character Thrawn back into the Star Wars canon, but for all its successes, I was curious to see how such a plot-heavy, arguably slow-paced story, would translate into comics.After reading Jody Houser's adaptation, I'm happy to say that it translates quite wel...

turns out i did pay attention during the audiobook. though, the graphic novel gives us some visual easter eggs i really enjoyed.

"It is never wrong to be curious, but it can sometimes be dangerous." -- Admiral Thrawn Although a little boring and/or too talky in spots, Star Wars: Thrawn works best when closely following the intriguing title character in action. (And 'action' is really a misnomer - Thrawn does a lot of plotting but is often just offstage during the usual SW adventure scenes - in this story set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.) He's the rare non-human - check out that azure skin tone and those uns...

This is the graphic novel adaptation of Timothy Zahn's book by the same name, and, like the book, this was a fun read on one of my favorite Star Wars characters, Grand Admiral Thrawn --- whose cunning and strategic acumen make him a worthy match even for an adversary strong in the force.This novel does well by just following the plot in Zahn's book --- starting with Thrawn's clever tactics in which he is brought to the attention of the Emperor and given a commission in the Imperial Fleet. From t...

Difficult to rate since its an adaptation of a novel I haven't read, but enjoyable on its own even with material that is obviously abridged.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Timothy Zahn’s “Thrawn” novel when it was released last April. Zahn’s dense, deliberately slow-paced style – while certainly intelligently crafted – just didn’t grab me, and I came away from the novel feeling distanced from everything that had had happened…which is also how I feel about Jody Houser’s comic adaptation. This is a very direct adaptation – scene for scene, beat for beat, Houser’s 6 issue series follows Zahn’s source material to the letter, and if you love...

5 🌟This book is the comic adaptation of the first book of Timothy Zahn's Canon novel series Thrawn. It tells of Thrawn's rise through the ranks of the Empire to Grand Admiral with Eli Vanto. I enjoyed reading the comic adaptation of Thrawn. I enjoy how his mind works and how he is able to strategize. Liked seeing him with Eli Vanto.

I'm glad Thrawn gets a haircut. One point in the Empire's favor.This is a graphic novel adaptation of a novel that I've read and mostly forgotten. Having just read the second Thrawn novel, it's nice to have this reminder of what happened in the first one (though the events in this novel have little effect on the second). The translation from novel to graphic novel isn't completely smooth, and I felt that some plot points would be very difficult to understand from the graphic novel alone.What I'm...

I really wanted to like this book and really wanted to delve into Thrawn as a character, too. I stopped after the 3rd issue. The first two issues are a decent setup. Showing Thrawn’s origin. I know nothing about the character — haven’t seen any of the animated series’ — but I was interested in learning moreabout him when Ahsoka drops his name in THE MANDALORIAN. The first three issues of the book — it’s almost like HOUSE OF CARDS meets STAR WARS. And Thrawn is almost like Frank Underwood — he’s

I've heard a lot about Thrawn but it was interesting to see his ambition and problem-solving in action. In a way, I'm glad I read this graphic novelisation before the original book series by Timothy Zahn, as the illustration really helped me keep up with all the political machinations and metal industry intrigue. Without seeing things play out, there would have been a real risk of me losing my way.While Thrawn is at essence a tale of one canny Chiss alien making a career for himself within the t...

~19-5 BBYThis is a graphic novel adaptation of the novel by the same name written by Timothy Zahn. The graphic novel consists of Thrawn Parts I-VI. In this graphic novel, we get the origin of Thrawn: where he came from and how a Chiss became so high ranked in an Empire that looks down upon other races. Mitth'raw'nuruodo, or Thrawn, is a very calculating man, able to predict multiple outcomes to various situations. He quickly becomes a Lieutenant after graduating the Imperial Academy. Thrawn soon...
