Star Wars #1 gives reason to believe that Marvel is ready to deliver a strong and satisfying follow-up to Return of the Jedi. Alex Segura and Phil Noto clearly grasp what makes Star Wars work, showcasing their ability to handle various elements of the franchise with skill and balance.

While the first issue of Predator vs. Spider-Man #1 gets bogged down in setup, leading to uneven pacing and questionable character choices, it successfully establishes a dark, gritty tone that blends the two franchises and promises a worthwhile payoff once the complete story unfolds.
