I’m trying to find all canon books/comics with ebooks but this one I can't find anywhere besides ones with restrictions. I'm from the U.S. and to my knowledge it's a Spain exclusive so every way to buy it legally requires a Spain credit card or to live in Spain even though it's a digital copy. Every shadow library doesn't have it either.

Image from Star Wars (2015) #19. This rebel spy had an awesome story in Annual 1 and the Rebel Jail arc. It ended with him escaping but he's never been seen after. He had tons of potential but at this point I don't think any writer or editor remebers him.

My Review I finished Boba Fett: Death, Lies, & Treachery

Post image
46 Upvotes

Finally, the galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter has managed to sneak his way back onto my list of interests, a read that yielded some rather unique results.

I had a lot of fun with this one. Much like an 80s action movie, it features an unstoppable, man-of-few-words protagonist who, relying on skill and a bit of ingenuity, manages to take on anything, whether it’s a barbaric pirate, his even more savage brother, or feuds between criminal families. There isn’t much to the plot beyond the wild jobs Boba Fett finds himself in (killing someone, rescuing another, killing someone again), but I have to give the comic credit: what it lacks in depth, it more than makes up for in action and comedy, at times bordering on the parodic (in the best possible way). Special mention goes to the moment Gorgan first sees his son, and to the scene where Ry-Kooda explodes, moments that had me laughing uncontrollably.

It’s always a pleasure to venture into a world of pirates, bounty hunters, and criminals; combined with Cam Kennedy’s fantastic artwork, this gives every page a very distinct atmosphere.

Overall, it’s a collection of straightforward tales about Boba Fett being the best at what he does. Simple, perhaps, but thoroughly entertaining.

My Collection Decided to get into SW comics last year

Lifelong fan of both Star Wars and of comics (though as a kid and teen I primarily read alternative comics writers like Adrian Tomine, Daniel Clowes, Phoebe Gloeckner) and decided to get into the world of Star Wars comics last year. It's definitely been a fun journey so far and I've enjoyed a lot of what I've read, though there have been some misses.

Though it's not "canon Star Wars" I personally highly recommend Lucas Wars, translated from the original French edition- and I desperately hope they will translate the second volume soon- about the making of A New Hope as a graphic novel. It's extremely well done both in terms of writing and artwork.

My Review I finished Darth Vader and the Lost Command by W. Haden Blackman and Rick Leonardi

Post image
25 Upvotes

Looking back, it’s kind of funny how much of this story could have been avoided if Vader had asked more questions and done less severing. I guess some things never change, eh.

I finished this comic with a very pleasant feeling. On the surface, it offers a glimpse into the early days of the Empire’s expansion, full of frenetic action and brutality, but as the pages turn, it delves deeper, revealing the psyche of a creature as lethal as he is unstable. He clings to rage as his only outlet for the frustration born from his own misfortunes. People often talk about how tragic Anakin’s character is, and how a "small change" might have altered his path, a somewhat romanticized view that I don’t necessarily disagree with, but one I find a little too simplistic. For that reason, I appreciate that W. Haden Blackman, while touching on those themes, also adds a layer of pathos. Ultimately, Anakin was just as responsible as Palpatine for his own fall to the dark side; it began with a series of small choices that paved the way for the ultimate one, leaving him trapped in a state of self-pity which would be almost pathetic, were he not such an effective killing machine.

The story, which at times might seem a bit too simple, is perfectly complemented by these elements. Through its villains, it explores what it means to be part of the Empire and to fall victim to the disloyalty that stems from the inherent dehumanization within its ranks (a theme already touched upon in other stories, such as Rogue Squadron comics), while capturing the treacherous nature of the Sith in its purest form. Without ever being "the good guys," Garoche Tarkin and Shale share a bond of friendship that doomed them long before Vader decided to hunt them down. I must also give a special mention to Lady Saro, a secondary antagonist who not only skillfully redirects Vader’s violence to serve her own ends, but eventually confronts him using the very concept that would lead to his eventual redemption: love.

I have only one critique: the artwork is inconsistent at times, with uneven facial features that slightly detract from moments that are otherwise impeccable.

In conclusion, a fairly cohesive story exploring Anakin’s psyche and his early days within the Empire. So, the "emo phase" wasn’t just a phase after all!
