Along with the comic itself, Mike delves into Dooku’s life including his time as a Jedi, his family life on Serenno, why he has the title of count, why he left the order, what “The Lost Twenty” are and more!

This comic was released February 2019, the villains trade paperback collection was released May 2019 and the Age Of Republic hardcover including all heroes & villains was released in February 2020.
