Product Description: According to legend, the Sith are always two - A master and an apprentice. It was not always this way. A thousand years ago the Sith were many and they battled endlessly with the Jedi Army of Light. Lord Kaan ruled the Sith Brotherhood of Darkness and sought the destruction of Lord Hoth and his Jedi followers. Recruited into the war by a scout, three friends venture onto the battleground and march into destinies far greater and different than any of them could have ever imagined...
Bane of the Sith If yoou have read the novels by Karpyshyn, you'll love this TPB. The comic covers all events thru the first Darth Bane book "Path of Destruction", as well as the first few chapters into the second novel "Rule of Two". The roll of main character is shifted from Bane himself, to a trio of cousins, one of whom becomes Banes apprentice Darth Zhanna. This paperback helps to fill in the blanks of the war between the Kaan's Sith Brotherhood of Darkness against Hoths Jedi Army of Light, while Bane is studying on Korriban.
If you're a fan of the Darth Bane Dualogy, you'll love this book.
Jedi Vs Sith: Darth Bane There's a possibility you fall into one of two groups: you're looking for SW comics about Sith or you just read the latest Darth Bane book and are looking for SW comics about Sith. This comic can either satisfy or dissapoint you depending on what are you looking for. There are a couple of Sith moments in the comic (which the story is supposed to be Sith centered) but is more of a story of how things can be heroic from a certain point of view and when you change it it looks completely different. The comic posses a good question about the nature of evil. As you know, there's pure natural evil, but there's also the slight "maybe it is, maybe it isn't, from a certain POV" evil. If you read the Darth Bane novel this will be a good complement (with some slight changes in the sequence of events), if you're looking for a comic it is a good read that will leave you asking more question than when you began.
Underrated. A seriously underrated piece in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Jedi vs. Sith tackles some serious issues, especially what "is" and what "isn't" a Jedi in a far more mature way than other works.
Yeah, it's different, but... I can see why some would claim that this story is very far removed from what we know in the Star Wars Universe. But its the weirdness I like. Jedi can be screwed up too, look at the flaws of the later Old Republic Jedis. Check out Outbound Flight for a really good example. This light and dark war serves as a historical restructuring point for both Sith and Jedi. Yeah, creepy cute/violent art may not work for some, but some times you need to step out of the box a little. You REALLY need to read Darth Bane Path Of Destruction to get the most out of it Jedi vs. Sith though.
A Great Edition to Any Star Wars Collection I think this was a really well written story, whose characters were well thought out. I really hope the Dark Horse Comics does more this Time Period in the Star Wars Timeline.
