Most of you are probably aware, but starting February 2018, Marvel is releasing a canon 6-issue comic book series that will focus on the background of Thrawn.
I will read for sure. I just hope the comics do a good job of emphasizing Thrawn's Sherlock Holmes-esque hyperanalyzation of his surroundings/encounters and whatnot... I really enjoyed that about his characterization in the novel.

On a different note, is there any sort of consensus on the 'threats' Thrawn was referencing here(he made similar comments in the novelization as well)..?:

Perhaps the Yuuzhan Vong? I know Filoni planned to canonize/introduce them in TCW at some point, but wasn't able to do so before the series ended...

I'll admit I didn't enjoy this third issue as much as the previous 2, mainly because the focus being a Pryce and some things being rushed are why I suspect. I do speedread tho, so maybe it'll be more coherent the second time, but I feel like somethings were probably better explained in the book that they couldn't elegantly transfer to comic form. Next issue looks like the focus is back on Thrawn, so looking forward to that.

They're essentially compressing a 450+ page novel into a six issue comic book series. Things are going to be rushed(or cut out completely) to some extent.
For me the comic is nice because it allows me to put some faces to some of the names from the novel(like Vanto, Nightswan, the various Imperials, etc.)

Thrawn with dreadlocks? Just, no. He ain't no feminazi.

I rectify. He looks like damn Tarzan.
Or
Thrawzan.

I assumed somethings wouldn't make it, it's something I accepted having not read the book to begin with. Thanks for the further clarification. I'm with you there on the second point as well.
