NEW CREW, NEW MISSION!
With the Rebel Alliance back on the run after their defeat at the Battle of Hoth, it's never been a more dangerous time for outlaws, scoundrels and the errant rogue archaeologist to make their way in the galaxy. But after a string of bad luck and near escapes, DOCTOR APHRA is back on the job! She's been keeping a low profile - jobs are scarce and credits scarcer. But the promise of the score of a lifetime is a chance too good for her to pass up. And to find the cursed RINGS OF VAALE, Aphra will need a crew of treasure hunters the likes of which the galaxy has never seen before! But RONEN TAGGE, heir to the powerful more
Final Thoughts: Alyssa Wong has done a pretty darn good job of crafting a solo series that also perfectly fits in the very tight time frame in which it's set. Star Wars fans are some of the most finicky, jaded fans in all of fandom, but I'd be surprised if this debut gets very many complaints at all! As with all the other recently rebooted Star Wars books, I'm greatly looking forward to the next issue! Read Full Review
Aphra gets wrapped up in the quest for a mystical maguffin and the setup, the art, and the characters look like a lot of fun. Read Full Review
Doctor Aphra #1 has all the hallmarks of a good Star Wars Expanded Universe story as it uses this rich world to tell an adventure story bursting with fun art from Marika Cresta and Rachelle Rosenberg and characters that are easy to connect to. Alyssa Wong also touches on deeper themes like faith and doubt and the connection between money and the academy. Fingers crossed that we see what an Outer Rim university tenure board review is like.

Second verse, could be better than the first. (I'll let you know after I read the previous 40 or so issues.) Read Full Review

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #1 lacks a certain magic that prevents it from being a must-read, but the seeds have been planted that the book's upcoming adventures could surpass its predecessors, due in large part to the fact that overly complex storylines have been put in the rearview mirror and the character's future looks brighter than ever.

There's potential to this concept, but only diehards are going to want to stick around long enough to see if Star Wars: Doctor Aphra hits paydirt. Read Full Review
Prelude:
Not too sure about this title but I said I'd read all the Star Wars comics so here I am.
The Good:
I enjoy Aphra here.
The objective is interesting.
The Bad:
It's a tad boring.
Conclusion:
It's a decent start but it needs to be more interesting to really appeal to me.
Aphra's personality feels right and the promise of Indiana Jones adventures in the Star Wars universe is guaranteed but... There's something missing. Some of my favorite support characters are absent and don't seem likely to become part of the cast considering there is already a full roster of new characters set up in this issue.
