Luke takes the lead this issue, though comes off as inconsistent. Leia and Han tease their future relationship, while the princess is making plans for something big. The story is okay, as is the art, but nothing thrills. Nonetheless, this is a competent Star Wars outing. Read Full Review

The Escape storyline has a solid third installment here as we get to see how the core three are handling their basic standstill period right now. They're all acting pretty much how you'd expect and it's fun to see them pushing against the restrictions in their own way. There are some nice moments of history that come into it through Tula, some good training for Luke, and a decent little bit of showy action that made me laugh. Leia steals the show and has me really intrigued to see what her true plan is here as it begins to be revealed and has me hopeful for a strong execution of revenge that will hit some high marks sooner rather than later.

The issue did lack some narrative momentum though, if the duo keeps up their synchronous storytelling, this arc could raise the bar for the book's future. Read Full Review

It’s pretty clear where the rest of the arc is going to go from the solicitations and I’m looking forward to seeing it play out. I’m happy that we got this arc as a breather between two big important arcs. Hope Dies was interesting because it was such a big event in the timeline but I’m surprised to find that I’m enjoying this arc more. This is probably the most I’ve enjoyed the series since Aaron’s second arc, and if the rest of the arc goes well it could become my favorite. Can’t wait to see where it goes next! Read Full Review

I like this issue a lot more than the last one. We're finally getting payoff for the setup in the last issue and I'm enjoying the actual story that they're giving us. Read Full Review
