From Goodreads: "The Last Flight of the Harbinger" STARTS NOW! Sgt. Kreel is back with an all-new squad of stormtroopers! Go inside the minds of an elite group of Imperial soldiers! Join incoming artist Jorge Molina for a walk on the dark side!
My Thoughts:
- Cover love!! The storm troopers look awesome!
- I love that this issue shows a different side the story. Some people want order and see storm troopers and law enforcers and not bad guys.
- A storm trooper wielding a lightsaber is AWESOME!
- These are your typical storm trooper. They are actually very accurate shots.
- Great intro to the new story. The artwork is great, and I'm eager for more.
From Goodreads: The Star Destroyer Harbinger, a massive weapon of Imperial war. Also the target of the rebels' new top-secret plan. Join Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa for "The Last Flight of the Harbinger"!
My Thoughts:
- Sweet!! A space battle!! It's about time there was one of these. It's always fun to see the Falcon in action!!
- Oi vey! New artwork again! I like the ships and environment a lot, but I'm not sure about the characters. Han and Leia look a little cartoony.
- I love the bantering between Han and Leia. They haven't had that for a while in the series! This story felt more like the movies than some of the previous stuff.
- This was a really fun issue. I loved the battle and the plot.
Goodreads Says: The Rebels have pulled off the impossible…they've stolen a Star Destroyer. But why? To what end? Can they hold her together? And who's in charge of this madness, anyway – Han or Leia?
My Thoughts:
- Interesting cover, I'm not sure I like it or not. I love seeing Han and Leia together, but they just aren't the type of characters that would run through the halls laughing like school kids.
- I'm not digging the cartoony art style of this issue.
- I usually love Han and Leia's bickering, but this was ridiculous!
- Sometimes I feel burnt out on these comics, but then something happens that makes me want to keep reading.
From Goodreads: Sergeant Kreel and SCAR Squad are on board the Harbinger…and they specialize in taking down rebels — hard! Can Luke and company make it off the Star Destroyer alive?
My Thoughts:
- I've never seen storm troopers in such a variety of shapes and sizes.
- When our heroes get into a tight spot or bad situation, I feel like been there, done that. Can we get something new?
- I liked all the action in this issue.
From Goodreads: Rebel crew vs. SCAR Troopers for the fate of the Harbinger! PLUS: An all-new Artoo-Deetoo adventure!
My Thoughts:
- The synopsis for this is like an ad.
- There are a lot of great action moments in this issue! It was really fun.
- There were also some humorous moments that I enjoyed more than I should have.
- Han and Leia floating around in space was too much outside the physics box for me.
- There is a little bonus comic at the end dedicated to Kenny Baker. It was a great little tribute to him. I loved it! *sigh*
Goodreads Says: Galactic espionage hits the Empire—hard! Haarkon Dak has been undercover in the Imperial bureaucracy for years ...but now, he’s the only chance to save Rebel sympathetic senators!
My Thoughts:
- The artwork is fantastic! The emperor is really creepy looking,
- The MC constantly talking to himself is a little weird. It's like the whole comic is a giant monologue.
- I like how this issue shows just how twisted and evil Emperor Palpatine really is, and how he manipulated the people to follow him.
From Goodreads: REBEL JAIL starts now! The Rebels travel to a prison base having taken an important captive in Vader Down. Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones with their eyes on the prisoners. The adventures of Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance continue!
My Thoughts:
- Aphra has be moved over to the Star Wars series. This should be interesting!
- The artwork is good, but I don't like it as much as the previous issues. It is kinda dark, and there are a lot of shadows on faces.
Goodreads Says: Han takes Luke out to fly the Falcon with him! Meanwhile...Leia and a few of her "friends" have troubles of their own. The rebel prison base is under siege!
My Thoughts:
- Luke looks like a girl on the cover :(
- Sana is like a female Han Solo.
- We are in the middle of a war, and Han has time to gamble and do some smuggling on the side. Ha!
- I don't like the new artwork. It is weird.
From Goodreads: With the Rebel base completely overtaken, our only hope is...Leia...Sana...and Aphra?! Can they save the Imperial prisoners? Do they want to?
My Thoughts:
- I love how Luke gets Han to let him drive the Falcon for a little bit. Ha! Han is a bad back seat driver!
- I like how Leia is very strong kick butt leader in this volume. She doesn't mess around. She just gets the job done.
- I really want to know who is in the weird suit, and how did they get on the base?
- This was a fun issue. I liked it a lot, but I'm still not happy with the art style.
From Goodreads: Will Leia be able to save a prison full of Imperial forces? Or will the mastermind of the takeover strike back against the Empire? Find out as "Rebel Jail" concludes!
My Thoughts:
- Despite not liking the new art style, I really like the cover for this one.
- I don't know when they started or who decided to start putting ads in comics, but I actually kinda like them. The stuff they advertise is interesting, and they've really nailed the target audience. The ads are pretty fun to view.
- Holy Schnikes! I'm glad I read the Annual comic! Whoa!
- I'm glad this is last Rebel Jail issue. It was fun, but I'm really tired of the artwork. I hope they change it in the next issue.
- I felt like the feminist movement got it's paws on these last few comics. It was all about girl power and saving the boys. I'm all for equality, but I don't like feminism shoved in my face. I also don't like when men are turned into bumbling idiots. Can't we all be kick butt intelligent heroes?
Goodreads Says: Another dive into the journal of Obi-Wan Kenobi! Jabba has hired bounty hunter Black Krrsantan to find out who's been thwarting his men! The old hermit of the dune wastes might know something about that.
My Thoughts:
- Hooray for another Obi-Wan Kenobi issue!
- When I saw the name Mayhew on the cover along with a big scary wookie, I got all excited, but alas, it isn't Peter Mayhew. It is Mike Mayhew the illustrator, but he is an amazing illustrator! The artwork is AMAZING! It looks very realistic.
- I like how Luke, Aunt Beru, and Uncle Owen are all wearing the same clothes they have in A New Hope, but the characters are younger. They must really like their clothes to make several of them in different sizes.
- I really liked seeing Luke as a boy, and Obi Wan watching out for his family. I hope there are more of these in the future. They are really fun to read.
Goodreads Says: With one of our rebel crew captured and imprisoned…we turn once more to the journals of Ben Kenobi…and a legendary adventure of Jedi Master…Yoda!
From Goodreads: Master Yoda finds himself on an all-new world…full of vicious, mysteriously powered children?! Not easy, will this be.
Goodreads: Master Yoda finds himself overpowered and captured! Imprisoned within the caves, the master must become a student once more. Plus…Ben and Luke feel the ripples of the Jedi Master's tale!
From Goodreads: It seems a battle from Yoda's past has come to Luke's present! Luke has stumbled upon the last native on the planet…and the stonepower is strong with this one!
