Knights of the Old Republic #30I’ve talked before about my love for the Knights of the Old Republic series from Dark Horse. Granted during Vektor I really struggled with it, but now they’re unencumbered by the crossover event, things have really kicked off, with Zayne moving towards his final confrontation with Lucien.

Issue #30 picks up where we left off. Zayne and his crew have discovered the covenant’s store of Sith artifacts when they are captured by Feln, a member of the Covenant who has perverted his race’s traditions to serve the Covenant.

Its a cracking read, and Zayne fairing so well in combat against Feln was great to see. We’re seeing the cracks show in the remaining members of the Covenant as well, with Lucien’s command over them slipping as their members dwindle and Zayne coming ever closer to exposing what they’ve done.

I’m really looking forward to the conclusion of this arc. Its the story that has dominated the series from the beginning, and I’m really hoping we see Zayne finally cleared of the Padawan massacre (of course, there’s a reasonable number of people now who know the truth, or at least suspect, in the case of Master Vandar).

While Legacy (also a good read) tends to get the praised heaped upon it, this title is still my top pick from Dark Horse’s Star Wars range.
