Reviews

The color scheme of the cartoonish, cinematic panels helps cultivate a strong sense of location, with dusty tones on Earth and florescent hues in space. Jak and CDW make a dynamic team in this action-packed tale. Kids who love Rey in Star Wars: The Force Awakens should like Jak, too.-- "Booklist"
