Canon Comic Retrospective: Doctor Aphra Series {Issues 1-40} (Volume 1)
– Full Spoiler Review –
I’ll never forget watching Doctor Aphra stuffed in an airlock, me chanting alongside her, “Please, not like this!” as Darth Vader promptly jettisons her out into space, her body floating into the cold depths of space. I was shocked, frustrated, and sad, barely able to finish the next few pages of Darth Vader #25 (Vol. 1), flipping past the credits in annoyance, only to see she somehow finagled together a plan to survive. Shortly after, her on-going comic series was announced, the first comic created character to lead her own series (among many other firsts), and my relief and excitement almost had me bursting out into happy tears compared to my sad tears moments before. 40 issues, and 3 Annuals later, Aphra continuously finagled a new way to survive out of the most unlikeliest of scenarios, hopping from one get rich quick scheme to another, but now her adventures (at least in Volume 1) have come to an end. Continue on to read Chris and mine’s review of the entire Doctor Aphra (Vol. 1) series! Continue reading “Canon Comic Retrospective: Doctor Aphra Series {Issues 1-40} (Volume 1)”
Canon Comic Miniseries Review: Age of Rebellion

Greg Pak, a few other writers, and the various artists along for the ride delved into the latest “Age” with aplomb, and while most of it was simply good, it’s highs were quite the zenith.

In the “Worst Among Equals” arc, the Doctor Aphra series delivers an epilogue of sorts, dealing with the fallout from the first 25-issues worth of story and how it brings change, for better or worse, to those who still remain after the dust settles and the proximity bombs have been set to blow.

Canon Comic Review: Doctor Aphra #29
