Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi respond to a distress call only to find echoes of long lost ghosts…

Dark side brotherhood! Child hunting monsters! Jedha’s past! and a haunted spaceship!

George Mann takes our Jedi to an ancient ship where they come face to face with the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door. A long-forgotten sect of dark-side users not seen since the days of the High Republic. But this isn’t the first time Qui-Gon has encountered them. The story weaves its way through Qui-Gon’s past as he struggles to find a way to uncover dangerous dark side secrets!

Jinn and Kenobi have wonderful chemistry and you can practically hear their familiar voices. Qui-Gon Jinn has always been a fascinating character. A Jedi who is more in tune with the Force than with the Jedi Council and their political leanings. And Kenobi, a young Padawan who sees a much more black-and-white view of the Jedi and their role in the galaxy. The storytelling shines as Qui-Gon teaches Obi-Wan even as he realizes he has much to learn himself! Andrea Mutti‘s art fits the haunted atmosphere well. Each location the characters visit feels unique and the moments visually fit the tone of the story.

This is the first in a series of Hyperspace Stories character-focused graphic novels from Dark Horse Comics. The next book in this series, Obi-Wan, will be released this year and a few others have been announced. This is a great opportunity to explore individual characters further who might not otherwise have a place in larger Star Wars storytelling. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the series and the characters it will explore!

… maybe a Quinlan Vos story? I can dream, right?

This comic is a must-read for Qui-Gon fans looking for a better understanding of the wider Force and the Jedi’s place in the galaxy!
