Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! And this week I’m going to be reviewing the one-shot story that is the wedding event of the year from Daniel Jose Older & Dark Horse Comics!
This issue is one that I’ve been anticipating for quite some time, and it’s the wedding of the year! Forget Peter & Mary Jane, forget Clark & Lois! It’s the wedding of Zeen Mrala & Lula Talisola! Seated and ready for the ceremony? Good! So let’s jump into it!
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Wedding Spectacular by Daniel Jose Older (writer), Harvey Tolibao, Caio Filipe, Andy Duggan, Jo Migyeong, Toni Bruno, Megan Huang, Nick Brokenshire, Elisa Romboli (artists), Michael Atiyeh, Vladimir Popov, Dan Jackson, Nicola Righi (color art), Comicraft’s Tyler Smith & Jimmy Betancourt (letterer’s) & Cherriielle (cover art) is a rollercoaster ride of an issue. It’s a great read and a nice culmination of a story that’s been developing across the various story’s in The High Republic Adventures.
The issue as you probably figured out is that it’s the wedding between Zeen & Lula, and of course it isn’t going to go off without a hitch. It’s a wedding behind the storm wall, so of course the Nihil are going to be involved.
As far as weddings go it is a beautiful one, but the process to get there is anything but simple. One of the highlights of the issue is the appearance of all the characters we’ve seen in the other stories. It’s a nice payoff for having read so many issues. The end of the issue is an important one, since it sets up for the next major battle in the comics.
FINAL POINT: The issue is fun, and one that if you’re reading the High Republic Adventures issues you’re going to want to read. Daniel Jose Older writes a great story and pens a memorable issue. This is a one shot you won’t want to miss if you’re a Star Wars fan.
SCORE: 8.0 out of 10
