Was Commencement a good starter for the entire Knights of the Old Republic series? Read on to find out!Going into Commencement, you may think that you need to have played the actual Knights of the fallen Jedi. But then near the end… I don’t know what happened, I guess another artist took over for an issue or two, but the art turned horrible. I’m not even exaggerating, it was terrible. Luckily it didn’t last long, but it took me by total surprise because suddenly everyone looked – worse. 6t1a6z

Aside from that slightly terrifying art experience, however, Commencement is very visually appealing.
The story is solid and original, and thoroughly entertaining to boot; even withCommencement only being the first volume, you almost immediately care about what’s happening and always wonder what will happen next. Some of the scenes are very emotional, and it all contributes to just a great story experience all around.
So, to wrap it up, I really enjoyed Commencement; it was a great first volume with fantastic characters and very satisfying storytelling. I haven’t read any of the Kotor comics in awhile, but re-reading this actually makes me want to start reading the series again. I would recommend this to pretty much any Star Wars fan, especially comic-lovers; you need no prior knowledge of anything to understand and enjoy it.
