Review! Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi #0 (Dark Horse)

COVER: Rodolfo Migliari. Great cover...have no idea who these characters are, but still, nice artwork.
STORY: John Ostrander. This is not a book written in comic format. It is all prose. Trying to take in all
                the new characters and locations with strange names is not easy. It will take quite a while before
                anyone can become familiar with this new Star Wars era.
ART: Jan Duursema. The art in this issue is more concept art than anything else. All new locations and
           characters, even vehicles, to meet for the first time. Once again, overwhelming. Jan does a nice job
           on the characters but the locations and vehicles are rather weak digital renderings.
FINAL FILE: Buy, Read,Re-read,Read it again (there will be a quiz) Keep it close by for when 
                        you read the series.
                        * I know this is a guide style issue but all those names and locations that are thrown at us all
                           at once is not good. It really turned me off from getting the actual series. With so many
                           Star Wars eras to choose from, it wont hurt to not pick up another one.
