The Parallels story arc has been a really neat one – showing the contrasting parallel storylines of Bomo Greenbark and Jedi Master K’Kruhk.
In the end they both end up much the same don’t they?
They both go nuts killing the bad guys.
The way that the panels were set up in this issue – showing the parallel lines of action – is nothing short of amazing.
Sure this was an issue with more action than chatter but it was an enjoyable and thoroughly satisfying end to a solid story arc.

Another solid issue that moves the plot along nicely. Reading this story arc issue by issue is a bit painful though and if I had a choice I likely would have prefered to just buy a trade paperback (but hey that could be months!).
We continue to learn about Bomo and what he is willing/able to do. And on the parallel side the Jedi younglings are under attack. Overall a nice balance of the two stories.
The real ‘magic’ though of course will come in the next issue when the Parallels will finally be brought together somehow – or not.
I just hope that no one else gets eaten.

This is one depressing series.
Issue #5 of course was one for the ages…this issue just add a bit more misery to mix. This series has real interesting guiding plot line…make the characters miserable…give them a little hope..take it a way and then do a double cross of some sort.
Bomo is getting more integrated in with the crew here and in the parallel story line the Jedi outcasts are making a home for themselves such that it is.
The only weak point is that this is the first issue in awhile not drawn by Doug Wheatley whose artistic style is without peer.
That’s not to say the art is bad (cause it’s not)..it’s just not the same.

Dark Times is easily one of the most depressing and truly Dark series in the Star War Universe ever published.
It’s just sad what happens..and there really are no happy comic book endings in this comic book.
This first story arc ends in the worst possible way – i was truly shocked and horrified by it – and couldn’t eat for nearly a day…
But i suppose that’s just good comic book writing – not sure that it’s for me as i’m not much for horror -
I’m not going to ‘spoil’ it here for anyone but let me just say this – it’s not a happy ending.
