    Aphra faces dangers from several sides, but can't avoid learning how allies feel about her. The story is another home run and the art is fantastic. My only nick in the book are the letters, but they're not so bad as to ruin the book. Read Full Review

    I'm still very much of the mind that Doctor Aphra can be a great book and that there's so much that can be done here.

This issue has some fun in terms of the action but it's the character material, particularly with Tolvan, that really makes it work. Read Full Review

Luckily, we do get some moments of true humanity from Aphra, Tolvan, and Sana, the chemistry that keeps us coming back each issue. Read Full Review
