This is an action packed issue with the Rebels making very smart moves. The story is thrilling and the visuals outstanding. If only the lettering were as strong. Still, I can't dismiss the rest of the book if the lettering is bad. This will please every Star Wars fan. Read Full Review

The main Star Wars book has another solid installment as we get to the middle point of the arc and everything shifts with it. It's here that we get a good battle sequence further underway as Larroca captures it very well with the movement and style while giving it the kind of backgrounds that adds to the scale at times. The subplot with Leia is one that is kind of ridiculous in a way but it's also something that I'm looking forward to more of because it'll be fun to watch with her having to go up against Vader and whatever else they find on the Imperial ship.

Star Wars #53 offers fancy flying and quick thinking from Luke and a brutal day for the Millennium Falcon and the rest of the Rebel Fleet. Leia' infiltration of the Executor sets up next issue's race against time to find the missing codes and save the Rebellion before Darth Vader catches her and the Imperial Fleet destroys what Rebels remain. Worth a look. Read Full Review
