When an argument between ex-Padawan Zayne Carrick and the mysterious Jarael leaves her questioning her place in his life, the appearance of the Jedi Malak threatens to make up her mind for good. Yet Malak’s not the only one with an interest in Jarael. Just how far the Mandalorian Rohlan is willing to go to stay by her side has never been revealed—until now!
Major developments for Zayne and Jarael! Previously untold events in the story of Malak and Revan! For in-the-know Star Wars fans, this issue is a must have!
A special one-shot story featuring Malak and Revan from the Knights of the Old Republic video games sets our main cast on a deadly new course!
A must-have issue for Star Wars fans!"
While yes, we have known who the Revanchist leader and Squint were for some time now but finally its officially recognized by the comic itself. This is a one shot, and will hopefully set the way for the series's future. Without a doubt, my most anticipated issue so far because we are at long last getting more KotOR in the KotOR comic. Thoughts?
Re: And now it really is Knights of the Old Republic....
The Kotor comics have done well by expanding the horizons giving us the details on the atmosphere and climate of the galaxy in this time period, which is why they went with pirating adventurer angle with Zayne and co.
If this issue can do the same for Malak and Revan give us something we haven't seen or expected from the duo, it could be interesting otherwise, not so much.
Would be cool to see them take part in a battle, and have an adventure built off of that, but given the synopsis I doubt that's how it goes.

Exciting! I wonder what will be going down that will pit Malak against Rohlan. We know that Rohlan has some unexplained interest in Jarael, and that Malak showed romantic interest a few comics back, but they were on the same side, as far as I knew...
I really hope they don't unmask him. Leave SOME sense of mystery to the franchise.
