This is pretty much the culmination of the main storyline in the series so far, with Zayne returning to Coruscant to alert the Jedi High Council about the Covenant's activities. It does not disappoint. ( )

It bothers me that Dark Horse counted volume one of Vector as volume five of Knights of the Old Republic; now it looks there's a blank spot on my shelf. But it's right that they did; they weren't kidding when they said Vector would strongly influence every tale it crossed over with. Thanks to its events, Zayne is finally able to make it to Coruscant and take the fight to the Jedi Covenant who framed him for murder all the way back in volume one-- I hadn't seen that one coming! It's a very good wrap-up to three years of stories; almost every side character plays a part of some sort, and though I wish some (like Jarael) had made a bigger contribution, the climax is played exactly right, hinging on Zayne's relationships with Marn Hierogryph and Lucien Draay, the centerpieces of the series. The revelation of exactly what the Covenant's been playing at is perfect, as is the flashback issue depicting the history of Haazen.

Bong Dazo's art in "Exalted" and and "Vindication, Part 2" is better than I remembered him being, and Alan Robinson's art in "Turnabout" is passable enough, but the real highlight of the volume is the return of Brian Ching to art duties for the first time since volume three, as he draws a suitably impressive climax. But of course, this isn't it for KotOR; one plotline may have ended, but there's plenty more to keep this going for a long while, and I'm looking forward to it. John Jackson Miller has once again shown why it's the best Star Wars ongoing out there.

An excellent wrap-up to the plotline introduced in the first volume, with impressive battles of Jedi, Sith, and the misfits of the Force. Prophecy is always a tricky thing in fiction, and Miller handles it well, with many delightful twists and surprises. Clearly, the win and awesome in the Old Republic era have not been mined out the way they have been in the days of the Clone Wars and Rebellion. ( )
