While there's still a lot to love about this second volume of Marvel's new Star Wars comic (Dengar's in it; what more could you want?) I have to completely honest and say I didn't enjoy it as much as the first volume.I'm not quite sure why... Maybe it had something to do with the whole newspaper-headline-grabbing 'Han Solo's wife' business coming to such an unsatisfying conclusion... Maybe it just bothers me that some of the story elements are trying to be bigger and better than the story elemen...

A fun star wars adventure. This one continues where the last one left off! Luke is still searching for answers, and goes to a planet where a Jedi Temple used to be. However, what is waiting for him when he gets there!? On the flipside have Leia and Han on a new mission but what happens when Solo's wife shows up. Oh you heard me right, WIFE! Overall, this is pretty fun but not great. I enjoy a lot of the Luke stuff and I think he's actually pretty interesting in this series. I thought the ending

Remember this exchange from the original Star Wars?Han: Let him have it. It’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.C-3PO: But sir. Nobody worries about upsetting a droid.Han: That’s ‘cause a droid don’t pull people’s arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookiees are known to do that.C-3PO: I see your point, sir. I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the Wookiee win.It turns out that Han was absolutely right because there’s several scenes in this collection that make it very clear that Chewbacca is one b...

Quality follow-up / sequel to Skywalker Strikes, this volume was also fast-moving and fun. For starters, it provided a brief glimpse of what Ben Kenobi was doing between Vader's rise to power and Leia's "you're my only hope" message. Then it quickly jumps back into the story-line from the first volume. I especially liked the unlikely duo who set out on a rescue mission for Huttese-hostage Luke, Leia's trademark courage under fire (" This is a princess?" exclaims a stormtrooper-pilot dodging her

It's new Star Wars - and it's awesome.Seriously. I don't know what else to say without spoiling it. We are still between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. The characters are spot on - and the art is easy on the eyes.It's freaking Star Wars. Just read it.

Awwwwwesome. Pure awesomeness. My favorite Star Wars comic so far. I loved seeing Obi-Wan again, and the circumstances surrounding him. I loved meeting Grakkus the Hutt, who is a buffer version of Jabba and walks around on many robotic legs. Yep, it's cool. I loved the art. I loved the story. I cannot wait for more!Ps: Am I the only one who thinks that the cover of Luke looks like Ricky Schroder?#iamsuchasuckerforstarwars

The new Canonic Star Wars comics keep truly great! I got this storyarc on its single comic book issues but I chose to make the review using this TPB edition to make a better overall review. The story is set after the events of “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” but before the events of “Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back”. This TPB edition contains the issues #7-12 from the title of “Star Wars” in its new Marvel Canonic run.Creative Team:Writer: Jason AaronIllustrators: Simone Bianchi & Stuart Immo

Like the first volume, Star Wars :Showdown on the Smuggler’s Moon is also an action-packed, epic space adventure propelled by energy and enthusiasm. That’s fine with me!There is also a tale from Obi-Wan's past.Hell yeah!

Another great installment in the series. Yes, it continues the fun SW story with the original cast, but what’s really great is how logical and seamlessly the plot fits into the Star Wars lore. I’m amazed at how the creative team has added all these nuances to the ongoing tale leading up to The Empire Strikes Back without screwing anything up. Just a great series so far.

I really hated for good the Han's wife sub-plot, storyline was just as not good as first volume, but Bianchi/Immonen's artworks were just over the top here.And the arena lightsaber-battle-royale fight scene was a real blast.

The first issue of Obi-Wan Kenobi's journal was actually pretty decent. However, from there, it just went downhill for me. Writing-wise, storywise, the characters, all of the above. It was terrible.Guess I wasn't that much of a fan after all.It gets 1 star out of 5

There will be “blood and lightsabers“. If you are planning to read this volume, be advised to fasten your seat belts, as this epic adventure in a galaxy far far away will keep you on the edge of your seat through and through.This volume collects issues #7-12.Luke Skywalker struggles as he has no one to guide him through his jedi training. The uncertainties brings him to tatootine where he finds Ben Kenobi’s journal. The journal (issue #7) tells Luke of the vacillations and struggles of a man, pr...

I'm impressed! That wasn't just a bit of pandering to the nostalgia. There was an actual creative story in there! Wow! It makes me believe there's still someone alive out there who's making good Star Wars stuff! Yay!(Yes, I am going to go watch the new Star Wars movie this weekend. Am I preparing to adjust my expectations after watching Eps 1-6 recently? Yeah. Am I still a geekboy enraptured in his geekdom? Yeah. Yeah, I am.)Seriously. This story was pretty damn cool and I want to continue readi...

Jason Aaron knows what he's doing here. I loved the first volume of his Star Wars, and while this one isn't quite as amazing, it's still really, really good. It still has the same sense of adventure that I hope for from anything related to Star Wars. Luke actually gets to be really cool, even if he's also as naive as I'd expect him to be. Sana is a great new character, though I doubt we'll ever see her again. She's fun, and it's great to see somebody consistently get the better of Han, at least

The Star Wars comics have been kicking the Star Wars books asses since they switched to the new continuity. Great art, fun stories. This volume starts with a solo tale featuring Obi-Wan and his life on Tatooine. Following that Luke decides to go to the Smuggler's Moon for help sneaking on to Coruscant and falls into trouble with a hutt. Han and Leia deal with Sana and her revelation that she's married to Han.

3.5 stars. "I wasn't General Obi-Wan Kenobi anymore. I was no longer a Jedi master. I was only Ben. Quiet old Ben who lived far out in the Dune Sea, where nothing but womp rats and Tusken Raiders ever dared to go. Ben the forgotten hermit. Ben the relic." Oh, how it hurt. Entering this comic I was not expecting it to make me cry. If anything, I was expecting it to amuse me. But it was immediately clear, after seeing that Obi-Wan narrated some, that I was gonna have my poor heart crushed.It

This is a lot of fun to read and i just love han shouting 'she's not my wife' like 50 times his character is spot on! The artwork is amazing and everything is just on point, definitely worth picking up if you like star wars!

Set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, the second volume of Jason Aaron’s Star Wars run sees the core group fractured. Luke has picked up Obi-Wan’s journal from Tatooine and is trying to reach the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the heart of the Empire - a journey that only the most daring smugglers of Nar Shaddaa can help him with. Meanwhile, Han and Leia bump into a bounty hunter intent on turning them over to the Empire. Oh and she claims to be Han’s wife too! I liked the first Marve...

This Star Wars book is so fun and Immonen is so under appreciated as an artist. He gets the character faces and body language perfectly and his big wide shots like space scenes and planet establishing shots look great. I saw a tweet saying this is going to be the thing that will make Luke Skywalker cool - I'm leaning towards agreeing with that opinion.

Ya this was better than I expected. Quite a fractious chaotic storyline (in a good way), and what a great finish. All while staying within the constrains of the main Saga storyline. We get a few extra characters thrown in with the regulars we all know and love. The art work wasn't really to my liking. A huge downgrade from Cassidy who worked volume 1. Kind of weak sauce art, but it still served and most of the time it captured the essence of the original actors. Overall this adds more depth, and...
