Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! This week I'm going to be reviewing the 3rd issue of the Tides of Terror story in the Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories series from Dark Horse Comics!

Things are not looking good on the Axil Research Station! An underwater research facility, it's been under constant threat since the story started and it's been sinking ever deeper into the depths on the planet Tordus. So will our heroes be able to save it? Let's jump into it!

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories - Tides of Terror #3 by George Mann (Writer), Luis Morocho (Pencils), Ramon Lopez Cabrera (Ink), Michael Atiyeh (Colors) is an action packed adventure from start to finish!

The Story

George Mann keeps the action up in this issue with a great story that left me on the edge of my seat right up to the very end. Kit Fisto & Nahdar are still on board the research station and trying to save as much as they can & escape safely.

Between the action & the mystery surrounding who (or what) is causing so many issues on the station, this issue really had a feel of a middle episode of an arc from season 3 or 4 of The Clone Wars when it was on TV. And the way the issue ends? Just a classic cliff hanger ending that makes me wish I had the next issue now!

The Artwork

Luis Morocho, Roman Lopez Cabrera & Michael Atiyeh are truly a team that might be one of the best art teams in all of comics right now. The artwork in each panel is so crisp & well drawn. They did a really good job with Fisto & Nahdar and bringing them to the 2D format, and I really liked the way color was used to give it a sense of impending doom.

FINAL POINT: George Mann is crafting an absolute masterpiece of a story that any fan of the Star Wars prequels should read. Together with artwork that is absolutely masterful, this is an issue that cannot be missed!

Overall Grade: 8.0/10
