This is the strongest issue in the series so far, particularly shining when showing Palpatine's masterful manipulation of young Anakin. The dialogue in these scenes is meticulously crafted, with the Sith Lord in disguise precisely appealing to Anakin's interpretation of right and wrong, while never revealing his broader agenda.
Marco Checchetto's art presents an interesting angle on the Star Wars universe, creating an ice world that strays away from common conventions, while also feeling considerably distinct from Hoth. Only the Fishers seem unimaginative and too much like your usual Marvel space-alien-villain.
With only two issues to go in this series, Obi-Wan & Anakin still leaves much in the dark when it comes to what exactly is happening on Carnelion IV. The relationship between the Open and the Closed remains unclear, and it's hard to make any sense about what happens to the two Jedi at the end. One can only hope Soule starts to tie up some loose ends in #4 already, not risking a final issue that feels too rushed and confused.
