The very first thing out of the gate, Path of Deceit, saw the untimely death and disappearance of Padawan Kevmo Zink and his master Zallah Macri. Quest of the Jedi begins by addressing something phase 2 of the High Republic publishing initiative hasn’t done a very good job of. She opens up a galaxy of potential through connections far and wide, Jedi and Sith mythos, and the most important thing of all to some Star Wars fans: an opportunity for insane speculation. Gray manages to tell a unique story with fresh characters you are instantly compelled by, while broadening the scope of the High Republic narrative to unimaginable breadth. The one-shot structure doesn’t restrict the narrative at all. It is an exercise in comics that you don’t get very often.
Quest of the Jedi is an odyssey of wonder with incredible artwork to accentuate that feeling of awe. Gray has the uncanny ability to leave you hungering for more, but also in desperate need to put what you’re reading down to contemplate your life choices.
Claudia Gray’s The High Republic Adventures: Quest of the Jedi from Dark Horse is here to put it simply, it rules.
