If they did the pencils, inks, and color, they should be looking for a job with a comic company.

Such are the ways of the world. Just make your own.

Finished Darth Bane last night. I gotta say it was kind of predictable. Oh well. On to Rule of Two.

so new clone wars was pretty good, although next episodes should be better, it's all about da Fisto.

Rant:
I hate the computer photomanipulated cover illustrations that's become standard for the SW novels. WTF on the cover of Rule of Two, Darth Bane is the same hilt as Qui-Gon!! And it's blatantly obvious that Zannah saber is actually Darth Maul's. Lame.

Yes, especially since Bane's lightsaber has been described multiple times as having a curved hilt.
The Legacy of the Force novels have cool covers.

I'm kind of disappointed about the sudden influx of curved hilts now. Half the old school Sith use them, along with Dooku and Asajj.

yeah that is annoying, i assume most of these people are in the comics, but from the pics you guys have posted it seems like most do, it's not unique anymore
Anja's was pretty sick though, even though she wasn't a Jedi

I'm assuming they don't discuss Anja's fighting style?
And I've always like Tenel Ka's lightsaber.

Either I like Troy Denning a lot more than the other two authors or the Legacy of the Force series started getting very good with the third book. In lieu of sleep last niht i killed the whole novel, and I enjoyed it much more than the first two. Maybe because the war finally started and there wasn't any boring Corellian-Coruscanti politics bullshit. Plus Lumiya goes nuts on Luke Skywalker in a cantina and just starts killin' people 
. Though supposedly she's dead BUT I DONT THINK SO.

yeah Troy Denning and Karen Traviss are the only ones i thoroughly enjoyed, i can't get past the last book because i lose interest very quickly because I HATE Aaron Allstons writing...
are you talking about the part where there on the converted star destroyer?
Last night I didn't sleep, I totally entered a Jedi trance. Well, something like that because I was reading a SW novel for 12 straight hours.
I've only read one of each author, but based on that I actually liked Aaron Allston more than Karen Traviss. God, it was so slow-paced. Also, she seemed to have the tendency to make the SW universe too relatable (not a word). This may be total nitpicking, but to give you an example, when the riots are breaking out on Coruscant, the riot police meet them with tear gas, riot shields and helmets with transparent visors that pull down. Essentially the exact same things we use. C'mon, this is the galactic civilization that has mastered interstellar travel, created a wonder drug that could cure anything and heal any wound, has fuckin turbolasers, and guys who can fuck shit up with their mind... yet they're riot control techniques are identical to those of 20th century USofA?? Like I said, probably nitpicking, but thats just one example.
Kinda like when Jacen and Ben are going around breakin down Corellian doors, and the way she describes the streets and the whole police raid made me imagine it like a drug raid in Harlem, not a massive operation to thwart terrorism in the Galactic City.
The thing I love about the SW universe is that while it is relatable, its incredibly different and imaginative, but she goes too far with the former.[/endrant]
So far:
Book 1 - Good, but not the greatest
Book 2 - Good when it was on Jacen Solo, but otherwise it was frequently booring and silly, took a few days to finish
Book 3 - Ass kicking started, Cool shit goes down, I killed it in a day easily.
