• SCAR Squadron is back...with their deadliest attack yet!
Rated T
STAR WARS #37 is a fantastic conclusive issue for Jason Aaron's time on STAR WARS. The entire team, including artists Salvador Larroca and Andrea Sorrentino, delivers a satisfying, gripping, and contemplative story that beautifully passes the baton to Kieron Gillen as lead writer. Read Full Review
A good extra-sized issue that does a great job showing a different perspective on groups we all deem the villain. Read Full Review
This issue is a dollar more than usual, but the increase is worth it. The first story is amazing, and the second, though it has visual flaws, is also excellent. A set of antagonists are set on plaguing the Rebellion and their expected confrontations with the heroes look to be exciting. I appreciate an experimentation in trying some new visuals in a book, but those in the second story just cannot hold a candle to those in the first. That said, I recommend this book to Star Wars fans and to those looking for an entry point into this saga. This looks to be the start of something really good! Read Full Review
Bottom Line: What a wonderful way to see Jason Aaron end his run on this book than sticking his heroes with the cold epiphany that their new nemesis is playing for keeps. This book has excelled at adding layers to the mythology we already know without rewriting and trampling all over it. Issue #37 perfectly reminds you of why Aaron was the best to reestablish what Marvel's Star Wars comic universe should be all about. Read Full Review
While it will no doubt be fun to see Kreel and his men versus Star Wars most-famous characters, the foreshadowed conflict between Luke and his friends and Kreel is likely to also signify the end of the comic's break-out original characters. Worth a look. Read Full Review
This issue also gives us a small backup story with one more Kenobi tale that's focused more on the Tusken Raiders with Dash Aaron also writing with Andrea Sorrentino on the art. It's a charming little story that humanizes the group a bit more, which we've seen previously.and gives Aaron one more Kenobi tale to tell. Overall, Aaron's run on this series got things where ti needed to be and worked well in crossing over with the previous Darth Vader series and exploring some fun events after A New Hope. There's been a lot of ground covered here before but under the new and tighter continuity things are connecting in other ways, especially as the film universe itself grows and the novels are connecting as well. I liked what Aaron did as a whole and I have hope that he'll swing back again someday with a limited series to do something elsewhere in this sprawling galaxy far, far, away. Read Full Review
Though it would have been nice to see Aaron stick around for at least a bit longer, this issue nonetheless serves as a fitting conclusion to his run. Read Full Review
Another great issue that focuses on SCAR Squadron. It was very interesting seeing Vader's perspective on Kreel's lightsaber, and Kreel's meeting with the Emperor was perfect. The bonus story was good too, nice to see Aaron got in one last story from the Journals of Old Ben Kenobi.
Scar Squadron is revisited. They are one of the more interesting new additions to Star Wars canon. I enjoy reading about them and Sargent Kreel is a very interesting character. Appearances some classic characters help this issue along and if this will be Jason Aaron's final issue on this series then it is a worthy one.
