Canon Comic Retrospective: Poe Dameron Series

Poe Dameron Complete Series Retrospective

– Full Spoiler Review –

If there’s anybody who can write Star Wars comics well, it is Charles Soule. The man has an incredible range of gifts: from the Master-Padawan relationship of Obi-Wan & Anakin to the tortured mind of a Sith Lord in Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith. If anyone was going to lead the charge into the New Republic era of comic books, I wouldn’t trust anybody more than I would Soule. Poe Dameron, at least at its conception, took us on the search for Lor San Tekka, the occasion shown at the beginning of The Force Awakens. Instead of showing us a straightforward search and rescue mission, the series took some mighty fun pit stops: a cult that worshiped a kaiju-bearing egg, Mr. Bones against the First Order, revisiting Cato Nemoidia, and more. I mean, a lot more. Continue reading “Canon Comic Retrospective: Poe Dameron Series”
