The art by Minkyu Jung conveys stong emotions, powerful action and a sense of adventure that's vital to a great Star Wars book. There is world building with new characters on top of classic and new concepts. The book is alway filled with a humor that feels natural and fits the adventurous caper tone of the book. This book is clearly meant to feel a bit like Ocean's 11 and it nails that perfectly even while feeling like a true Star Wars epic. Read Full Review
Doctor Aphra #8 is an entertaining and fun read. It has a lot of action, some humorous moments, and even more striking scenes worth checking out " especially for those avid Star Wars fans. Read Full Review
Doctor Aphra moves through this storyline a bit more and it's not exactly a big or noteworthy installment in a lot of ways. It's mostly moving things to where they need to be with some progress and getting it ready for the next part. But it works well and I'm particularly pleased to see a little more Nihil material show up here as it makes sense for Aphra's series. It's not something you want to see showing up in every project after being non-existent in all the other material for so long, but pieces arriving after the start of storytelling from that period is a given. Aphra's work with it here feels natural and honest and she's giving it just a bit of mystique as well that works nicely. Read Full Review
Still a fun story and worth it if you have been enjoying the series and character so far. Read Full Review
Aphra and Sana find themselves left for dead. However, their discoveries might just lead to greater things for them if them can only escape. Knowing Aphra, she still has a few tricks up her sleeves. Read Full Review
In any case, Aphra and Sana get a diagram of the Path Engine and head to their next stop, an auction on Midaar where a fake Path Engine is being sold. Vukorah's going there too, so it seems that there's finally gonna be a big showdown next issue. This issue was... good. Besides the already-talked-about pacing issue, the rest of the writing was great, and the art from Minkyu Jung and Victor Olazaba was really great. I'm still excited for the next issue though, and looking even further, the series is gonna bereintroducing Durge into Canon, something that should come as a welcome surprise to fans of Dark Horse's Republic comic series and the animated Clone Wars series from Genndy Tartakovsky.

The highlight of the book is the dynamic between Aphra and Sana, teasing a will-they-won't-they dynamic rivaling that of Leia and Han, which makes Aphra's archaeological adventure all the more engaging. Read Full Review
As a huge fan of the original run, I was a disappointed with the first arc and nervous for the series but the last issue picked up and I really feel that Wong found Aphra’s voice and how to write the character in this issue. The first arc had to many additional characters that seemed to bog down the issues taking attention away from Aphra. I also have to praise Mikul Jung’s amazing art and has drawn the best Aphra of the current series by a landslide. Really hope this is the turning point for a great series.
