Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - War #1

The cover by Benjamin Carré sets a vivid, urgent tone: a lone Jedi stands atop a rocky outcrop, blue lightsaber ignited, surrounded by a forest engulfed in roaring orange flames — perfectly capturing the tagline's promise of "A Jedi caught in the Mandalorian Wars!" Dark Horse kicks off this five-part story from writer John Jackson Miller and artist Andrea Mutti with a premise that drops its protagonist into one of the Star Wars galaxy's most brutal conflicts. If you're drawn to tales of the Old Republic era where the line between heroism and survival is razor-thin, this 2012 series opener is a compelling place to start.
