comics, animated series, etc but I still think Aaron can do better as he has shown me with Thor.
Star Wars is hard to write since there is so much out there already in terms of fiction novels. R2 provides some comic relief like he does in the movies and Vader makes an appearance. Luke then finds a bunch of slaves and I really don't know how they plan to escape discreetly with what is at least 20 to 30 slaves. Princess Leia and Luke are disguised in the same outfit as Lando in the mentioned nod to RotJ. There's so much rehash from Return of the Jedi in this issue as Han pretends to represent the Hutts and negotiate something that I was never too clear on. The story starts with Han tricking the Empire (again) to land on their weapons facility planet, honestly the Empire just seems to be comprised of mindless idiots who can't out-think a 3rd grader. I'll try not to be too critical since it is a first issue and Star Wars is a saga after all but for a debut, it's a bit underwhelming. Marvel aren't holding back and this is just the beginning. Overall, this is an issue that NO Star Wars fan should pass up on. Cassaday draws an incredible Han Solo but when it comes to other characters such as Leia and Chewbacca, his art isn’t as refined. The art also is quite strong despite being outshone by the writing. Snappy one liners that speak with the character’s voices and a thrilling plot make me feel like I'm reading a Star Wars movie.
When Jason Aaron is on point, he knocks it out of the park and this issue accentuates what I love so much about him. Jason Aaron has an excellent handle on the Star Wars universe and characters, evoking the adventurous tone that made you fall in love with the franchise in the first place. Being the highest selling comic in 20 years with an all-star creative team, this issue had a lot to live up to. Comics: The Gathering - Kalem Lalonde Mar 7, 2015Īfter years of great treatment at Dark Horse, Star Wars has returned to Marvel.
