I did like that there wasnâ€™t a ton of dialogue. Short and to the point.

Its short, its fine. I hate to give another 3 stars but what else is there to say. Actually, you know what, Ill give it a two because it took a 1-dimensional character, and added nothing to it. Im a fan of the new canon and all, but Legends did Grievous so much better.

I actually enjoyed this one! The art is great, and it benefited from not being bloated with dialogue. It's short, and wraps up neatly.

Well, another ba AoR...

The only one I liked was Jango'...

I like the way Grievous moves in this. In the text at the end they say they wanted Grievous to be a Vampire-like figure and I truly feel like he never achieved that except in The 2D Clone wars series from 2003...

This will make a fine addition to AoR Collection of 1 star...

Say what you will about Grievous. I find him fascinating! I thought it was cool to see his real face, too!

This comic lacks any kind of conflict. There's traps, but those don't pose a threat. There's a vision, but that also doesn't pose a threat. It takes a mediocre at best character and has him do absolutely nothing.

Also, the traps part is actually pulled straight from Indiana Jones.

Liked this one the least of the AoR series. It didn't really expound on the character a whole lot, save from being able to see his real face.
