    That’s a great cover – that thing will definitely SELL.

    I love the cover and its visual symmetry.

      Agreed. The fist of the Empire on one side and the brains of the Empire on the other. Brawn and Brains working together. Not that Vader is dumb; but Thrawn is a genius. A term I do not use lightly. 🙂

        That is a good part of it, I guess. The latest Vader comic, for instance, is really showing off Vader’s technical proficiency (and intelligence) combined with his power in the Force, while Thrawn is just an outright genius ultimately playing all sides to his own advantage.

        Here, visually, in one corner you have Vader’s ignited lightsaber, on the other Thrawn’s piercing red eyes (complimented by the red hue of the lighting behind his shoulder). Both are terrifying in their own way.

          I have to check out the latest Vader comic. I fell off of most of the SWs comics, outside Dameron’s comic. A lot of it was me not really caring. But I did love Vader Down. As for that symbolism, I love that.

          Thrawn to me what makes him so great is that I often see him as like a critique/ artist when it comes to war. If Vader is the battle-hardened general who would lead the frontlines and enjoys Stormtroopers(namely, because they aren’t stuffy, general/bureaucrats), then Thrawn would appreciate that.

          And in turn, would take extra note of Vader’s skills to best utilize them. This is the same guy who is willing to study entire cultures and their warfare tactics and adapt them. So yes, Thrawn and Vader are a scary combination. And I argue if Palpatine wasn’t such an egomaniac; if Thrawn and Vader were in charge, the Empire would be a deadly force(pun intended) to be reckoned with.

    I never actually finished Thrawn, but I’m definitely reading this book. I just have to decide if I’m going to get caught up by reading the rest of the book or reading the comic.

      Definetely the book. It’s amazing. I don’t think the comic will be as deep as book when it comes to Thrawn’s mind and thoughts.

        Yes, the comic will be a nice visual complement to the book not a substitute for it.

      It is a fantastic book and really Timothy Zahn at his best. But hey; he created the character and if there is anyone who can do him justice, it is him.

    So I wonder if thrawn will live post ROTJ like in the legacy series. It would be cool to put him in battlefront
