Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma take their war to the Republic. It ends with a Jedi library world scorched, a fratricide, and a Dark Lord who cannot be killed conventionally.
Six issues from August 1995 to January 1996, written by Kevin J. Anderson and drawn by Dario Carrasco, Jr., with covers by Hugh Fleming. Collected in July 1996.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
