Emerick Caphtor and Sian Holt investigate a death at Grizal and some black market Nihil dealings all while mumbling a haunting nursery rhyme from the past… Daniel José Older and David Wachter bring something strong to this mini-series. The art and splash pages pop and the writing is excellent! This comic series has a strong film noir vibe (or Tech Noir… like that club in Terminator…) Not only that but we start to get some answers about the Nihil and their anti-Jedi weapon…
And a jillion more questions…
SPOILERS AHEAD!

Trail of Shadows starts off strong and keeps digging deeper. The characters, like us, want answers and it’s great to finally get a few. As the first phase of The High Republic comes to a close some things become clearer and I’m definitely all in for the future!
This comic is a must-read for anyone wanting a few answers, some mystery, and a little horror!
