Aphra is the only comics original Star Wars character to get her own ongoing, and this series shows exactly why she deserves it. Of all the Star Wars characters, she may be the most human, brilliant and awful in equal measure. It does an admirable job of showing her slow growth without losing sight of her appeal, while much like Vader's first ongoing did with her, introducing vibrant new characters to the world. Her dynamics with Triple Zero, Vader, Tolvan... they all leap off the page. These ar...

The stories in this book are about as dark and disturbing as you will find in the Star Wars universe... definitely not for kids. If you are looking for more Star Wars but want something a little different than the usual "good guys" versus "bad guys" theme, this might be perfect for you.The main character Doctor Aphra is deep, well developed and a lot of fun to read about. The supporting characters are equally unique and interesting. The artwork is also gorgeous.Overall, this book doesn't play a

I loved it! It's a really good read that's both fun and dark, with a character that's both easy and difficult to love but always compelling. It explores the order side of the universe, like the Mandalorian TV series, so it was quite refreshing too. Now do I wait for the next Omni or collect more regularly 🤔

What an absolute brick. Apparently it took me six months to read this, and I can believe it. There is a lot of comic crammed into this omnibus.I've been a fan of Kieron Gillen since his days back writing for Rock, Paper Shotgun - his VADER comic run is one of my favourite pieces of Star Wars media, and Doctor Aphra was a big part of that series' success. I wasn't sure how Aphra would handle running a comic alone - turns out, quite well!A great morally-grey character who is one of the few Star Wa...

An interesting full dose of additional lore and characters that at least in part are slated to appear in the upcoming live series.

First half is 4 stars, latter half falls into 3 stars territory. Overall a great read for any Star Wars fan though.While I don’t ever care for Larroca’s art, Gillen’s writing and introduction to the characters in the first half brings a brilliant addition to Star Wars to life. Doctor Aphra, a lovable, conflicted rogue archaeologist constantly gets tangled with Rebels, Imperial agents, unique cultures, and ancient Jedi artifacts.

Had potential, great adventure. Fall short and got a little bored at the end.

Doktorka Aphra je jedna z nejlepších věcí co potkala Star Wars, říkám to pořád a stále si za tím stojím. Nechci hodnotit knihu po knize ale zhodnotím to jako celek. Na 7 booků a jeden Crossover je to neskutečně zábavné a vše jede prakticky celou dobu. Gillenova éra u Aphry byla samozřejmě nejlepší ale ani Si Spurrier nezůstal zahanben a napsal skvělý příběhy. Miluju romantiku v téhle sérii, miluju humor, jenom kresba místy drhne ale dohromady funguje. Prostě co říct, perfektní koupě a doporučil

This is exceptional and does a great job of not only establishing who Doctor Aphra is, but also taking her on a meandering character journey that evolves and changes the character satisfyingly

A huge collection of fifty-four issues featuring the immoral archaeologist Doctor Aphra, covering the years between Episodes IV and V. Here we see Aphra working as an agent of Darth Vader before striking out on her own with the Wookiee bounty hunter Black Krrsantan and the psychotic droids BT-1 and 0-0-0. With backstabbing and betrayal for profit her stock-in-trade, Aphra is challenged by personal connections; with her estranged father, with her enemy/lover Tolvan and with the young girl Vulaada...

Kinda stuck between loving the first half (everything with Aphra written by Gillen) and really not finding the second half particularly engaging on a story level despite loving a lot of the concepts Spurrier throws into the mix. I bought this Omnibus primarily because my first hardcover of Aphra was made obsolete due to the fact that Gillen only wrote 6 further issues and there will never be a Volume 2 collecting those issues in Deluxe format. This Omnibus is kind of the only game in town for th...

A little bit Han Solo & a little bit Indiana Jones; I really liked Doctor Aphra and her supporting characters and narrative weaving through the original trilogy timeline. I enjoyed the murder droids and her occasional partner the lawful evil wookiee Black Krrsantan. I even grew fond of Tolvan, who was less a girlfriend and more of a victim of repeated collisions with Aphra. Vader is a heavy presence felt thoughout. Easy recommend to SW fans.

Went in blind and absolutely loved it. Great characters all around along with great adventures. Highly recommend and no prior reading necessary.

Chelli Aphra is an archaeologist. You might think this means uncovering precious artifacts for the sake of preservation and knowledge but you’d be wrong. With an interest in droids, weapons, and Jedi artifacts she’s just looking for credits. When her talents attract the attention of Darth Vader it sets her life and that of two killer robots on a path that sees her kidnapping rebels, imprisoned in imperial jail, fighting for her life with a droid that wishes to kill her, and even going to the Emp...

An excellent run from two of my favorite writers (Kieron Gillen and Si Spurrier). Dr Aphra and her supporting cast are a welcome addition to the star wars mythos that I hope will one day be translated on the screen. I love everything about this series and hope one day there is enough issues to warrant a volume two omnibus.

Honnêtement, ma meilleure lecture sur l'univers Star Wars et de loin. Déjà parce que tout simplement, c'est un nouveau personnage, unique à ce médium, on ne suit pas Luke, leia ou Vador, qui eux ont des histoires forcement liés et rattachés aux films, ce qui ne peut que limiter la créativité et le développement de personnage, ainsi que l'attache à l'intrigue que l'on pourrait développer. Mais ici c'est tout le contraire. Le choix de faire d'aphra une pilleuse de tombes et vendeuse d'armes sans f...

Doctor Aphra is a really great character who is only featured in comics. The story and the character development between her and her companions made reading each page enjoyable. BT-1 and Tripl Zero are really great additions to add in comedy and flavor to her series. Overall the 2016 Doctor Aphra series found itself trying to make a name for Chelli while also being creative with the storyline and its relation to the events in between A New Hope and Empire.

This is the only Star Wars comic material I have ever read and I wish I could give it 6 stars! What an amazing book.

Doctor Aphra was such a pleasant surprise. I found her interesting in Kieron Gillen’s Darth Vader run but I wasn’t sure if she could hold down her own title. Gillen and Spurrier proved me wrong and crafted a wonderfully weird, dark, and heartwarming Star Wars story that steps outside the familiar tropes does something wholly fresh. Aphra was such a great, three-dimensional character to follow. She’s like the antithesis of Zayne Carrick from John Jackson Miller’s Knights of the Old Republic comic...

Overall, I enjoyed it. My only complaint was her interactions with the Emperor and Vader were over the top, after the first encounter between her and Vader which was really good. It was fun to follow this type of character and her ongoing poor choices. A little blah in the middle, but it got really good again at the end.
