Comic Book Review: Knights of the Old Republic #24

Knights of the Old Republic #24 took the Days/Knights story arc out with a bang. For anyone who hasn't already picked up the issue, I ask you now to read it first before reading my spoiler-ridden review. I'd much rather you find out what happens in the actual issue.

This issue picks up right where the last ends. When Zayne, Shel and Raana Tey infiltrate the Mandalorian's headquarters (the former Jedi Embassy on Taris), they discover that Cassus Fett evacuated the building after hearing of the Taris Resistance's plans to attack there. Afterwards, when Shel hesitates to kill Zayne with her brother's lightsaber, Raana Tey decides to kill Zayne herself. A wonderfully-pencilled duel ensues, with Raana Tey and Zayne battling it out in the Council Room. Shel ends up killing Tey to save Zayne, finally coming to the realization that Zayne didn't kill her brother.

This issue also brings light to a few theories that have been floating around. It is now apparent that the Masters themselves are the five sith they've seen in their visions. I think this is a great and rather ironic twist in the plot.

Overall, this was a great issue, and a great ending to the twelve issues leading up to it. Definatly pick it up. Also, this last series is definatly a must-read before the KOToR issues of Vector begin.
