An awesome continuation of The high Republic series! The characters are so compelling, and I loved the focus on Avar this time around and how she is going to extra lengths to gain victory. Keeve is so interesting to explore as well, especially knowing where she may end up eventually. And that cliffhanger was simply brutal. Come on, Cavan.

Star Wars: The High Republic, Vol. 2: The Heart of Drengir by Cavan Scott is an action packed adventure that is brutal at times with really great imagery. This volume has 2 main storylines the war with the Drengir race and going undercover to stop the Nihil's next attack. I was really pleased with how the Drengir storyline ended, and how it could effect the Star Wars Universe. The Undercover to join the Nihil will take the reader into the next volume, it ends in a cliffhanger. We get introduced

Hmmm this was just okay if I’m honest. Like I’m sure this isn’t the end of the Drengir (sp?, as usual) but I just don’t understand why Disney would presumably have them be defeated after what, ten issues? Idk I love the idea of the High Republic, but the execution has not been great

Descent current Star Wars title. Kind of light on the character builds. Reminded me of watching a Saturday morning cartoon so maybe this would be better for the younger audiences.

This was the best Star Wars comic volume I’ve read in a long while. Excellent story, excellent art, and excellent character work.

I found volume two to be a good companion to The Rising Storm but at times this one was a little difficult to follow because of the jumping forward in the story and back. But as always I enjoy the High Republic. Look forward to more!

More solid High Republic content here from the irrepressible Cavan Scott. It ended on a cliffhanger, of course, so here I am anxiously awaiting the next TPB already.

Okay how am I supposed to wait for the next volume?! That ending made me screamed!! Lol! Great sequel! Excited and dying for volume 3

I wasn’t a big fan of the first 5 issues of the High Republic comic line, though I enjoyed the novels. I was fairly sure I just wasn’t a fan of Scott’s style, so hadn’t high hopes going into this. Indeed, the first three issues, 6-8, I was reaffirmed in this idea. The writing was cringey, the characters had barely any time to display their personalities and the Drengir story wasn’t making much sense to me. Besides that, the art appeared to have taken a quality hit and some of the portraiture was...

Star Wars: The High Republic, Vol 2 was an action-packed installment that kept me hooked from start to finish. I really enjoyed getting some answers to outstanding questions not addressed in the High Republic books as well as seeing more of Keeve, who is one of my favorite High Republic characters.

This is a bit rambling; sorry!Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic Vol. 2 - Heart of the Drengir continues where we left off in Vol. 1, with an infested Sskeer and a very worried Keeve Trennis recuperating on Starlight Beacon, while Avar Kriss maintains a very uneasy alliance with the Hutts to combat the (literally!) growing threat of the Drengir.This arc is only three issues long. They're all written by series writer Cavan Scott, and while the third issue is drawn by Ario Anindito, who did the...

A slight improvement over the first volume, primarily because it wraps up the story with the Drengir (at least, for now). It’s a lackluster and anticlimactic conclusion to that story, mind you, but I’ve been so unimpressed with the Drengir as an antagonist that I’m just glad we’re past them for the time being. The art is still good, and as flat as the Drengir finale is, it certainly looks neat. Great colors and some exciting bits of spectacle help make up for the lack of urgency and tension in t...

I've been reading this for so long that I hardly even noticed when I'd finished it. This isn't a swipe against the issues within, which are mostly pretty fun. The problem (and the reason for my middling rating) is that Heart of Drengir gets the short end of the stick with regard to the overall High Republic production schedule, as well as Cavan Scott's interest in tying all of his personal contributions to the project together as tightly as he can. In just five issues, it is bisected by the even...

A rock solid continuation of the “High Republic” comics line, “The Heart of the Drengir” sees writer Cavan Scott building upon the foundations he laid down in the first arc, while also ably tying in the ongoing storyline of the comic with the events of the broader “High Republic” event. It’s an impressive balancing act, both paying off certain threads left hanging from the previous arc and setting up future storylines in a way that never feels contrived or half-baked. Bring on Volume 3.

This collection is part of the multimedia series that includes novels, comic books, and audiobooks. In this one, we still follow Keeve Trennis and other Jedi as they continue their battle with the Drengir and the Nihil.I have read many of the different offerings for this overall arc and I haven't been the biggest fan. The problem for me has been the connection to the characters. I don't have as much as that problem with these comic collections including this one. In fact, I am starting to have a...

Taking place mostly before The Rising Storm (which seems so long ago for me) this volume deals with Avar Kriss's assault against the Drengir. Using the skills of Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis, they are able to locate "The Great Progenitor", which is a giant creature from which all Drengir stem from. With the help of Orla Jareni (sob... read The Fallen Star), they are able to capture the creature and contain him onboard Starlight Beacon. ( WAIT!!! Was this giant thing onboard when Starlight fell???)C...

I'm still reading this. And it still sucks. Not as awful as before. But it's still really really really bad. I'm not really sure why I'm still reading. I keep forgetting to take it off my pull list do it keeps showing up and I can't just not read a perfectly good comic. No matter how much it sucks. And this comic sucks. It sucks bad. 2 stars.

That escalated quickly. If you aren't hooked by this one, then you won't be!
