I've read a good number of Star Wars comics spanning from 1993's Knights of the Old Republic to Charles Soule's Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith from 2020, but I have to say that Kanan: Last Padawan remains one of my absolute favorites. I also think it's a lot more accessible than some of Star Wars' other comic runs since it's so short. I just...LOVE IT, and not just because the Shatterpoint Lineage is one of my faves and I think Kanan is such a wonderful character. It fits neatly and beautifully into the larger tragedy of this specific era of Star wars, and the one-off characters, especially Kanan's clone friends-turned-enemies Grey and Styles, are effective and colorful.

I'm one of the people that hissed at TBB for retconning it, for two reasons: it did a profound disservice to Kanan's character, and, (without spoiling too much) contains a really profound sacrifice on the part of clones fighting their control chips that I think added a whole new layer of emotion and tragedy to the whole idea of the chips in the first place. Also, Kanan is actually brown in the comics, unlike his TBB model...
