This captures the personality of all the characters I love. And talk about cliffhanger. I'm in love with this series already

Quite simply put - I could 'hear' the actors voices in the characterization within the panes, especially Han and Threepio.; excellent job, Marvel. To be honest, I thought picking up the baton after Dark Horse put it down was a daunting task. So far, you've captured my attention!

While Disney may have fouled up with The Last Jedi, the Marvel comic books from a galaxy far, far away are true to the spirit of the original films. Read one and see if you don't enjoy it.

Check out the review on my blogI am vaguely aware of the existence of the Extended Universe and all the books and comics set in it, but outside of couple video games I have never come in contact with it. I love Star Wars, but not that much. So the first volume of Marvel's ongoing flagship Star Wars series is my first contact with the galaxy far far away portrayed in this media. If I had any reservations before picking up this book, they were all gone when I read who is responsible for committing...

Loved the story along with the artwork that was amazing! The art is so true to the characters. Love it.

Here's a respectable start for a great series (I hope so), Star Wars!Star Wars the comics enjoys the advantage of not introducing the characters and building their personality. It relies on a universally known fact that everybody knows who the hell are the main players of this epic space saga. Issue one is a fitting start. It gives you right away who the main players are and what they will be doing (which is either rebel or defend the galactic empire). The story happens right after the Death Sta...

I'm a fairly big Star Wars nerd. I'm obsessed with any scrap of news related to The Force Awakens. I've written Star Wars fan fic. I own a New Era Star Wars baseball cap (Imperials). I own many Boba Fett toys. I've even read some of the expanded universe novels (now Legends).And yet... I've always tended to stay away from the Star Wars comic books. Like many of the novels, most of what I've read reads like over-heated disposable fanboy fic (I would know), and a lot of it seems to be only Star Wa...

It was probably the explosive teaser trailer for JJ Abrams’ Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens that appeared at the tail end of 2014 that helped, but it was announced weeks ago on several comics sites that Jason Aaron and John Cassaday’s Star Wars #1 was going to be 2015’s biggest selling single issue comic. Today when I went to two comics shops? Cleared shelves. And I know they were ordering in bulk! Jackpot, Marvel! Why the fuss? This is the flagship first Star Wars comic Marvel have publi...

I was very hesitant to pick this up, as the last time I was tricked into more Star Wars it involved Jar Jar Binks, whining child Anakin, and a 45 minute pod race that was 46 minutes too long. But this comic, set in between Episode IV and Episode V, returned some of my faith in the franchise (and just in time for the new Star Wars movies). The art fit the series and the characters -- favorites like Luke, Han, Leia, and Vader -- and the plot started off with an exciting skirmish between the Rebels...

Finally came to my senses that now that I have an iPad (since last Christmas, mind you) I can start downloading some comics once again and see/read them on a decent sized screen. As others have pointed out, this first issue of the newly rebooted Star Wars universe isn't exactly original in regards to storyline but the great artwork really makes up for that. Almost feels like coming home once again and visiting the family. A good start to the new series and one that I'm sure to follow religiously...

This first issue of Star Wars(2015) was great! The art is fantastic and so well done. Cassaday is becoming one of my favorite artists after Whedon's Astonishing X-Men and now Star Wars. Aaron captures the characters perfectly and the script is pretty normal Star Wars in flavor. The time period that this comic is set in, between A New Hope and Empire is a great place to build upon more stories. Not sure if I'll grab the trade paperback or try to get the single issues but regardless I'm now a fan....

The Force is strong in this comic book!!! While I plan to to an overall review on the eventual TPB edition, since I am getting this comic book series in its single issues, I thought relevant to make a review of the first issue in the series. Creative Team: Writer: Jason AaronIllustrator: John Cassaday A NEW HOPE FOR COMICS …I have a very good feeling about this. This is the single comic book issue which begins the new run of Star Wars getting back again to the publishing house of Marv

Yesterday I watched Star Wars:the force awakens and I decided to join this fandom.. so I decided to read the comics and watch the old movies until 2017, when we will have a new movie.it's a good start. the illustrations are really good!

This first issue of Star Wars takes place right after A New Hope. The story so far is not specifically original. However, the art and writing does a very good job of capturing the essence of the characters behavior and action sequences of the original Star Wars film. Its a great start to the series and has a Skywalker in action cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

Today is new comic book day and look what was waiting for me...er...my 7- and 11-year-old at our local comic book store. This book starts off where Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope (1977) left off. The story, starring all of the old familiar faces, is off to an exciting start. Great artwork! And I do an excellent job playing John Williams' original soundtrack in my head, because when page one starts "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." you can't help yourself. :-)

Much of my youth was spent playing with my Star Wars figures and pretending I was Luke or Han. I am excited to read this story, which takes place right after the first movie would have taken place. The Death Star has been blown up. What is the next rebel mission? I will find out by reading this series. Starts off with a bang.

It's here! Marvel is publishing a "classic" Star Wars series, featuring our favorites from the original movies! As soon as it hit the shelves today I had to scoop it up and read it.Skywalker Strikes sees the gang visiting a weapons factory with a cover story of negotiations between the Empire and Jabba the Hutt. Of course this is anything but that as the rebels try to make a further dent in the Empire's plans.This story is set between Episode IV and V and for those that have read the novel "Scou...

I've read more than a few Dark Horse Star Wars comics of various vintage lately. What I noticed was that a lot of their stories focused on minor characters or entirely new ones with a tangential relationship to the main movie cast and are often set years or even generations after the event of the original trilogy.Marvel's new series is similar in that it is set in the gaps of the movies; this one is set in between Episodes IV and V but the art, in comparison to most of what Dark Horse offered is...

My girlfriend got this in a Loot Crate a while back and gave it to me. It was wonderful, it hit me in the geeky feels.

To start off, at least from my memory, this was the first graphic novel I've read outside of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, and I thoroughly enjoyed my quick experience with it. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I've watched all of the movies multiple times and have watched the original three films probably 10 times each. I love the characters Star Wars has to offer, so reading about a whole new adventure with the characters I have always adored was awesome. This book had my favorites, such as Han, Le...
