Stand Back Agatha Christie!

I'll admit it. I wasn't a huge fan of Legacy #1. Cade Skywalker was, well, underwhelming, but for whatever reason, I recently bought Legacy #2. After reading #2, I went out and snatched up #3 and #4. I found #3 was exciting and, truth be told, I fancy myself a guy who can sort of see a twist coming... but the first twist sent me reeling. (I won't ruin it for you.) The second twist, on the very last two pages, though, was so subtle and sneaky I had to reread the pages twice to fully comprehend... and it blew my mind. I CANNOT wait for #5--I highly recommend going out and picking up Claws of the Dragon, and then pick up Alliance along with it!

Wish they came out quicker

I like this series I wish they would put it into regular novel form. Sometimes hard to follow all the characters. I enjoy it greatly though.

Star Wars, the Next Generation

I am hooked on this one..not that I am a comic fan, but the story line, the intrigues...have me wanting for more.

A Powerful Ending to a Great Story Arc

Cade Skywalker is a rebellious and emotionally broken former Jedi. Sought by the evil Sith that now rule the galaxy, scheming factions of the Empire, and his own former teachers, Cade heads to Coruscant, the stronghold of his enemies, to try and make amends for the wrongs he has committed. Claws of the Dragon is the most powerful and action-oriented addition to the Legacy series so far. Bringing together the various threads and backstories from Shards (Volume 2), CotD presents an excellent story filled with battles, scheming, and death that will rock the Star Wars Legacy universe. As well, the origins of such characters as Darth Krayt and Morrigan Corde are revealed. CotD is my favorite entry in the SW:L universe so far, and I highly recommend it to both graphic novel enthusiasts and Star Wars fans. Volumes 1 and 2 should be read first, however, as Volume 3 builds significantly on the previously-established storylines. Note: Star Wars Legacy, Volume 3: Claws of the Dragon collects issues 14 through 19 of the comic book series.

Great

I love this series and this story arc is so far the best yet. I love that they made Darth Krayt A'Sharad Hett. Cade is walking the same path as Anakin did and I cant wait to see how it all plays out. I highly recommend this series to everyone frome serious star wars fans to casual readers.
