This was such a great dive into the character of Ben Solo and Kylo Ren, and as a glimpse into the making of one of the most complex villains in mainstream science fiction we've seen in a while, they couldn't have done better in the movies themselves.

The only thing is... I don't know if Soule and Sliney were joking on Twitter, when they mentioned spending a weekend in a cabin with Adam Driver to get references? But given the quality of this book, I would not be shocked to learn it was true.

Issues 2 and 3 were *exquisite*. Issues 1 and 4 were narratively weaker, and issue 4 wrapped up too quickly when it could have been fantastic with a few more pages. So why is Kylo Ren the way he is? I was worried that this comic would be too poor little rich boy to feel realistic, but it balances Kylo's feelings of powerlessness with the restless potential underneath.
