  This is a solid issue that brings the conflict between the Nagai and the Zantarrk Consortium, under the leadership of Reyna Oskure, to a decisive turning point. The stakes feel fully realised here, with the tension between resistance and exploitation finally boiling over into open confrontation rather than lingering in the background. Read Full Review

  There are a lot of moving parts here, and a good number of characters on the move, that allows this to work better than it should. I'm still of mind that it'll read better as a full arc rather than the monthly trail I'm on, but it's definitely doing more than a lot of other Star Wars series in trying to up its game. Oskure just isn't a compelling villain, and it's taken a bit to really connect with the Nagai storyline since I'm so used to light and easily dropped subplots in Star Wars comics. This issue starts to draw things together more with all that's involved and I'm definitely enjoying it. Rynn and Bastion have been welcome additions to play against the leads, and Valance in the mix is a huge plus for something different than most of our usual legacy characters. Read Full Review
