This is a pretty dark issue, and understandably so. The darker colors really help portray the uneasy tone of the story, especially since the Resistance is pretty much out of options at this point when it comes to fuel. I don't know how they're going to catch up to the First Order and get their fuel back, but I can at least rest easy knowing that Black Squadron is far from giving up. Overall, this is a good issue that any Star Wars fan would benefit from reading. Read Full Review
Between the increased focus on Leia and the other members of Black Squadron, the series is starting to feel like a more vital addition to Marvel's Star Wars lineup. Unfortunately, that comes as artist Phil Noto is replaced by Angel Unzueta. Read Full Review
An average outing that starts well and becomes very predictable. The visuals are just okay. I think it's time for Poe to be grounded. Read Full Review
When Marvel does Star Wars well (which having read all their new output I'd estimate is about 75% of the time) we get material such as the Han Solo mini-series - which is what this series should be aiming to emulate - or Shattered Empire where we got to know Poe's parents. When it goes badly though we end up with trash like this issue thrown at us, which was a consistent result from the Darth Vader title and books like Dr Aphra and large parts of the main Star Wars book. After last month's high point in the Poe series- with the moving funeral scenes - the fall in quality seems so much further in this book. Read Full Review
A comic about a mission to get fuel really shouldn't be as good as this issue is. Poe Dameron shows his heroism time and time again here and there just a good dynamic with him and his crew as well. This probably isn't as high stakes as some of the other stories but its still a fun read.
