Star Wars: Sanctuary – Review

Published

on

A Bad Batch novel

It’s been over a year since the Bad Batch series ended on Disney+. The story focused on Omega and Clone Force 99. A new book written by Lamar Giles will be released on (Penguin Random House). It’s title is Star Wars: Sanctuary. Countdown City Geeks got an exclusive opportunity to read the book before it comes out.  

We follow Hunter, Omega, Tech and Wrecker as they help rebuild the island refuge on Pabu. We get to see the team work with Phee Genoa, who was played by Wanda Sykes on the show. If you were a fan of Bad Batch and fell in love with the team, it is so awesome getting to see them go on another adventure. It was awesome getting to hear Tech talk again in the book. If you were a fan of Andor, you’re definitely going to like what goes on in this book as well.  Lamar Giles leaves me wanting more.

Lamar Giles has also worked on Static: Up All Night for DC Comics.

This is for horror fans! Cathedral’s story is captivating and the art pulls you in like a movie. That’s not all, play the album while taking in the art and it is mind blowing! 

What can I say about the album – its horror suspense with rock. It’s well put together. This is next level immersion for graphic novels. 

The novel takes you in with the opening page of a cathedral at night with lightning in the background. Then we get a zoomed in image of an eye on the stained glass. A full-on art panel of police cars in the rain in front. A female stepping out of the car, a cop walks up to her and says “we have an officer down” ….and boom the roller coaster ride has begun.

This gave me “Mouth of Madness” with “The Thing” vibes. You get blood and gore with suspense. Horror fans need to go out and get this. I can see this made into an 8-episode series for streaming. I will be adding this to my collection!
