The Marvel “Star Wars” title “Han Solo” is a little bit of “Force 10 From Navarone” meets “Cannonball Run”. In space. Starring Harrison Ford. Written by Marjorie Liu, drawn by Mark Brooks. It was good. ‘Nuff said.

Good Golly Miss Molly, Marvel is shitting the bed with their comics these days! Unfortunately the crap has now spread to its Star Wars line as well. You’d think a Han Solo comic would be a home-run but instead it’s one big yawner with a helluva convoluted plot that’s not worth trying to puzzle out. Like many of the new Marvel Star Wars comics, this one is set between A New Hope and Empire. Leia needs Han to pick up some Rebel informants in an Imperial system - they have important information the...

On the cover, Chewie's bag makes Leia look like a blunt eared elf. Just saying.

Beyond fun. Marvel takes on Han Solo, and gives the most fun tale possible. Great tale.

This was fantastically fun! Loved the "race in space" angle and the dazzling space-based panel art. If the upcoming Han Solo movie is half this much fun we're in for a treat!

Great artwork, fun story and cool aliens. A very entertaining episode - can't wait for the Han Solo mini-movie. I wonder if they will draw the plot from this mini-series. Definitely worthwhile!

A Solo 'solo' adventure set in the aftermath of A New Hope, though of course Chewbacca is by his captain's side throughout the book. This one started favorably enough (the Han / Leia scenes captured that amusing "will they? / won't they?" tension in the early part of their relationship), the artwork was great, and the story - a secret mission conducted using the cover of the Falcon's entry in the 'Dragon Void' spacecraft competition - was initially interesting. However, I'll admit I grew bored w...

5 starsNice to see a comic featuring Han. Quite enjoyable. Can't wait to read more Star Wars comics!!!!

A terrific story that has Han Solo working undercover in a galactic race to rescue 3 rebel informants. This one has plenty of twist and turns as well as Imperial pains.As always Han is a barrel of laughs and insightful enough to pull his and Chewie's butt out of the fire. Plenty of action and good artwork makes this one an enjoyable read.

I enjoyed this one, particularly the ending, but I thought it sagged in the middle. I think it would've actually been a better story if it'd been trimmed to four issues, or maybe even three.Maybe I'm not done with Star Wars comics... I dunno...

*4.75The way I look at life has always been simple. You can fight, you can run, or you can die. Dying ain't an option. Which means I've gotten real good at fighting and running. Seems like that's all I ever do. Never thought much about it. Until recently.I initially read this comic a while back, but I only remembered bits and pieces. Going into this after absorbing so much more SW content was interesting.Reading this, I found myself thinking about Han's story in Star Wars, Vol. 6: Out Among the

Had some fun with this one. Just something to read when I didn't have the focus to dig into my current prose read. Def fun for Star Wars fans, and of course lot's of great Chewy dialogue. Definitely helps if you speak Wookie.

Set between New Hope and Empire, Han and Chewie enter an intergalactic race as cover for a Rebel mission to collect some spies. Yes, this has been done before many times (I can remember some Speed Racer episodes with a similar plot), but this is fun and engaging with rare interior art from Mark Brooks. His art is fantastic, especially his alien characters. I especially liked the design for the legendary racer, Loo Re Anno. He also draws dynamic space scenes that draw images of the movies to mind...

This was like basically Fast in the Furious in space and I was pretty into it. It's prob a 3-star comic but I'm awarding a bonus star for the panel of Leia punching Han in the face.

Marvel's 2016 run for Star Wars: Han Solo has just been released in trade paperback, so even though I acquired it issue by issue, I'm still reviewing it at around this time, so go figure.Yet another star wars comic in the new canon that takes place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, this comic suffers a similar problem that Jame's Luceno's recent Star Wars novel Catalyst had: it has an extremely strong start, but in the final two issues it loses steam. THE STORY: There is a mole in

This was significantly better than I'd thought it would be. Not fantastic, sure, and certainly not the best of the new Star Wars comics. But it's a fairly good story, it suits Han, and it's entirely unlike what the other books are doing.

I enjoyed this compilation of recent comics, maybe a bit more than just 3 stars. It does justice to Han Solo in the period after A New Hope. Does it advance the narrative of the original Episode 4-6 trilogy? Not much. Is the plot substantial? A bit thin.Solo is backing away from the Rebels and trying to get back to smuggling. It isn't working for him and when The Princess reaches out he kind of agrees to help get back some "moles" who were deep in The Empire's organization. They will be at vario...

This is a good 'un.We get a story by Marjorie Liu that has Han take part in an intergalactic race across the universe, threaded into an important mission for the Rebellion involving three informants and a murder plot. There's a lot to grapple in five issues, and Liu manages to make it all feel satisfying as well as getting a good look inside Han's head at the same time; the dilemmas he's grappling with in this story make perfect sense given when the story is set.Mark Brooks very rarely does inte...

Set between the new hope and the empire strikes back, the rebellion ask Han to rescue some informants on different planets and to do it he has to participate in some Dragon void race where the best pilots race and he does and he and chewbacca have to overcome various challenges and races and interference from the Empire and rescue the informants meanwhile having to find out who the "betrayer" is and finish the race and get these back to the rebellion. Its a good story but the main thing is art,

Actual rating is 3.5 stars.This is a collection that takes place in between Episode IV and Episode V. In this one, Leia asks Han for a favor. He is to enter a race as a cover to pick up rebel spies that are in danger. Han and Chewie get more than they bargained for.There are parts of this collection that I absolutely loved but there were parts that I did not. I loved the characterization as I had no problem with Han, Chewie, and Leia. The interactions between Han and Leia will put a smile on you...
