This is a fun issue that wraps up the story arc for Melton and his family rather nicely. Charles Soule makes clever use of these unknown characters to tell the story of how the Rebels found out about the second Deathstar. Read Full Review
Star Wars #28 continues the story of Crimson Dawn agents Melton and Bevelyn, as theyre caught in galactic intrigue, regular people becoming major heroes in a war they didnt start. Its a wonderful story with moments of anxiety, as its never sure if theyll make it out alive or not. That, along with some great Luke and Hera Syndulla moments, make this another great issue.

I know I'm going to have to re-shift my perceptions going back into a number of the comics and such with how Andor is giving me something that I consider magical, but I can definitely enjoy this as there are a lot of fun things to it and it moves well and has a breezy script that delivers all the right things. I'm not sure if the comic fans want something that would be more serious and executed in such a way or if they just want to stick to the adventurous spirit that populates the film narrative. I do like the nod to the uniform and there is something darkly amusing about him adopting the look of the Empire to end the Empire, but that feeds into the whole idea that we either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain trope.

Genolet delivers some fun and exciting art throughout the issue. The visuals are thrilling and I wish the store allowed the art to convey the tension it wanted to deliver. Read Full Review
The family is safe and Luke has returned to the Rebellion. Unfortunately the info that the family used to buy their freedom was the dark revelation that the Emperor is building a second Death Star. Now the rebels scramble to decide how to proceed. Read Full Review
While it might not be an outstanding excursion, it's an exciting glimpse into an untold chapter in Luke's many heroic moments. Read Full Review
Another awesome issue that showed off what Luke brings to the rebellion. I loved his conversions with Hera and I was so happy when she compared him to Kanan. It was funny to hear a rebel say Luke looks great in black, knowing he'll be wearing a black costume by the next movie. I'm excited to see where the story goes as Episode VI approaches and the rebels plan to destroy the second Death Star.
I like this issue. I'm not a fan of the art in comparison to previous issues, but I wish Luke hadn't given up his saber. I would have liked to have seen some saber action. I love seeing Hera in here, but she's drawn so badly that she's almost unrecognizable. I have to see this as an alternate universe because the group would not have left Han to rot in Jabba's palace this entire time.
