THE DOCTOR & THE WOOKIEE! After months in the New Republic's service against her will, DOCTOR APHRA and CHEWBACCA are tasked with providing security for a vital diplomatic mission on a remote desert kingdom! But a connection from the past threatens to upend the whole event! Who is the mystery saboteur, and will they successfully foil Aphra's operation?
This is a solid issue with some great character moments. I especially loved seeing how Aphra related to Chewie grumbling about him shedding fur and giving him grief over the mess he made of his side of the room. The sequence where she talks Black Krrsantan down from his mission, right up until she pieces everything together, was also a lot of fun. Overall, it's a strong chapter that balances action with humor and character beats, while leaving us with a hanging plot thread that keeps the anticipation high for what comes next. Read Full Review
The art is good here, and so is the action. However, this story seems completely out of sorts for this character. It was good to see Chewie and the Wookie Bounty Hunter, but Aphra is out of place taking part in a security mission. She's not a fighter. And security consists of only two people? It makes no sense. Chen has some good ideas, but there's absolutely no thru line and no archaeology. It's almost like she's trying to change the character. I don't think this title is long for this world.
