Han Solo – Imperial Cadet #1 begins an intriguing miniseries that will cover Han’s time in the Imperial Academy during the time-jump in Solo: A Star Wars Story, something I’m way more excited for than another adaptation. While the first issue doesn’t quite live up to the description made at NYCC, Star Wars meets Full Metal Jacket meets Stripes(what could?), it offers some fun potential I hope it can take advantage of in the next four issues.

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 problems don’t get better, but the series is still fun and breezy in Lando – Double or Nothing issue #3. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Lando – Double or Nothing #3”
It’s been quiet on the new novel and comic fronts for quite some time, especially once it was revealed 3 comics would be ending in September and the only known novels were Thrawn: Alliances and the Solo adaptation. But SDCC 2018’s publishing panel was a Hutt’s feast of new announcements, from a LONG overdue Padmé novel, Queen’s Shadow, a Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon novel from lauded author Claudia Gray, while Marvel has a new maxiseries focusing on heroes and villains from across the saga, IDW brings the scares for October with Tales from Vader’s Castle, and more!

Most Wanted, written by Rae Carson, is a young adult novel focusing on Han Solo and Qi’ra prior to the events of Solo: A Star Wars Story. It’s a well-written, fast paced book that gives Qi’ra her due, diving deep into what makes her tick, while focusing more on the idealistic younger Han than the film ever did.

Lando – Double or Nothing #2 retains the fun and pace of the opening issue, but it makes Lando talk a little too much, something I never thought I’d hear myself say/see myself write. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Lando – Double or Nothing #2”
