Am I missing something? Because I wasn't super impressed with this first issue. It drops you right in the middle of things without much context. I really think that this story should have been a novel, because I don't know these new padawans that well and have no idea how Snoke and Kylo got in contact before this. We see a bit more of Snoke with long brown hair and some sort of garden, but I still don't know what the heck is going on with him. The destruction of the temple seems to suggest a dif...

“I never...I didn’t want this.” Oh, Ben. You deserved SO much better 😩

A solid start for a Kylo Ren prequel that introduces the Knights of Ren and reveals that, yes, young Ben Solo did have friends. If there's one thing that still feels super weird to me, both in the movies and the comics, it's the way that Ben is consistently written as if he were a child. He's a grown man in his mid-twenties. I can't help but feel that they writers do this in order to try to justify Kylo's actions.

WHY oh WHY do I love Kylo Ren so much?This issue was a great beginning, but didn't reveal anything beyond what we already knew. I'm looking forward to learning more about this beloved character

This was so cool! I wish the movies would have showed this, but at least it is in comic form!

So. I had written a lengthy review of this comic the day it came out, but I guess it didn’t post for some reason. Anyway, I don’t have the energy to type all of my thoughts again because the past 19 days since The Rise of Skywalker have felt like 19 horribly long years. There’s been plenty of discourse and character analysis regarding Ben Solo on Twitter and Tumblr for years (and tons more post-TROS), if you’re interested in that sort of thing. Given the ultimate fate of Ben Solo, this comic fee...

wild

since the tragic end of Ben solo in TROS and I want more of him. I'm afraid this series will make me angrier about what happened to him, whatever he had been through it will not justify the ending. I think this series will make us look at him as he is, a boy.

Well, I was not emotionally prepared for how much that would hurt me. That really broke my heart into a million tiny pieces. Besides the fact I’m crying right now, this really explained a lot of gaps between the Jedi temple and Ben becoming Kylo Ren and I’m really intrigued to continue on with this because it was really good. The art was also incredible, and I’m really excited to read more about Kylo Ren/Ben Solo because he was the only character in the new sequels that I can confidently say I l...

As I sit and type this, at work, I am wearing my work badge...that is dangling from a Kylo Ren lanyard...so yea...Ben Solo is obvs one of my top intergalactic guys 😍 Plus The Knights Of Ren are just super cool and we absolutely did not get enough of them!Needless to say, I am thrilled with this story. I am always ready for anything in the way of Kylo's backstory that they wanna throw my way. Give it all to me. I need it. I want more!I'm very intrigued by what we got, so far, with this story. My

Good start to the series. We do know this part, but we are also seeing the fall, the struggle. The need to not kill all those around him. If only his mother was around more-- I believe with her Jedi strength she could've stopped this chain of events.

Oh man, if this first issue selling out and now into its fourth printing doesn't spell the bad that keeps knocking Disney  into the  grave they dug for themselves, I don't know what is. I mean this in the best way possible- for this comic that is. I do have to say screw Disney. And yes, they did publish this since they own Marvel in a way now. With how they handled The Rise of Skywalker, everything after it with fans, and now giving us this amazing comic about Ben Solo. Well, lets just say that

Pretty interesting start. I'm looking forward to reading the next issue.3.5 stars

First of a Series that Should've Been a BookThis is the first of a long awaited story of how Ben Solo fell to the Dark Side and became Kylo Ren. This kind of story should have been an adult novel similar to Darth Plagueis or Path of Destruction (the rise of Darth Bane) and written by James Luceno, Paul S Kemp or Drew Karpyshyn. The comic should've come after the book, not before. That being said, this first edition doesn't say much, beginning at the burning of Luke Skywalker's Jedi Training Temp...

NEED MORE

I'm reading this series to fill-in some of the narrative gaps about Ben Solo / Kylo Ren from the movies. This one begins with Ben using the Force to destroy the residence huts outside his uncle Luke's Jedi Temple. (A different conclusion is reached about the destruction of the Temple itself, which I found surprising, but I won't spoil anything here.)The narrative arcs of Ben, Luke, and Snoke are all very compelling, which is why I picked-up this comic to begin with. However, this issue focuses i...

3.5/5 Stars: Ben Solo was always the most interesting character of the new trilogy for me, and I've always wanted more of his backstory. It would have been great to include this in the movies, but I guess I can settle for comic form 😊This was a pretty cool look into what happened with Ben that night at the Jedi Temple. I'm definitely looking forward for the next issues!

“I never... I didn’t want this.” In the wake of the last issue of this series coming out today, I'm finally taking my time to review each issue properly here.Anyone who knows me just knows how much Ben Solo means to me. Ever since 2015, when The Force Awakens came out, this particular character became my favorite fictional character ever. I guess I don't have to write down how shattered and furious I still am with the way they treated him in the last film in the trilogy.Enter this comic book

Let's be honest here, Kylo Ren aka the real Ben Solo has always been the dumpster fire trash child who never got a real shot and who very rarely gets a real look from me. I didn't read any of his comics/books/anything beyond the movies and basic book adaptations of said movies. In fact, I'm more of a Rey fan so anything I come up with expect the bias of someone who is vastly disappointed in the full character arc of one Ben Solo. This 1st comic starts off with right after the Jedi Temple is burn...
