Canon Comic Review: Beckett #1

Beckett #1

– Spoiler Review –

Beckett #1 follows a job the titular character and his crew, Val and Rio Durant, embark on sometime before the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. As far as one-shots go, this might be the best one yet, unseating the oddball favorite C-3P0 from 2016, even despite this not being about one of the characters I’d rather have been in focus.

The Last Jedi DJ Most Wanted #1

– Spoiler Review –

The Last Jedi – DJ: Most Wanted is a one-shot comic which gives us a peek into what the titular character was up to before Finn and Rose find him in one of Canto Bight’s prisons, and while fun, it won’t change your perceptions of the character.

– Spoiler Review –

Ever curious how Cassian ended up with a reprogrammed Imperial droid named K-2SO?

Marvel’s Star Wars: Journey to The Force Awakens…I mean, Star Wars Special: C-3PO has had a wild ride. One of the earlier one-shots announced for the Marvel line-up of Star Wars comics, this C-3PO issue was promised to come as a part of the lead-up to the premiere of The Force Awakens in theaters. Production delays plagued the issue pushing it from December to March finally to April. The issue is here, so where does it stand?

Canon Comic Review: C-3PO #1 “The Phantom Limb” (One-Shot)

C3PO #1

– Spoiler Review –

The oft-delayed, and much maligned for it, C-3PO one shot, “The Phantom Limb,” is finally out in comic shops everywhere, defying expectations for it to become the first “Phantom Comic” of Marvel’s run. Originally scheduled to release before The Force Awakens, as part of the “Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens” line, C-3PO reveals the story behind the always nervous droid’s mysterious red arm seen on him (and heard constantly mentioning about) for the majority of the film. Written by James Robinson, with the art handled by Tony Harris, is the issue any good (even if you ignore the delays and expectations)?
