Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #50

Star Wars #50

– Spoiler Review –

Mynock Manor was still in its infancy when the new canon comics from Marvel began in 2015, and while I hadn’t been much of a comic book reader, I decided to start with Marvel’s new series to see how I felt about covering them on the regular. Star Wars #1 was a compelling argument, as my review said, “Marvel’s starting off their handling of the franchise on the right foot with an adventure worthy of the Star Wars name that’s entertaining through every panel, leaving you wanting more,” and now the comics have become the biggest focus of the Manor, especially with Doctor Aphra being my favorite character. The original writer, Jason Aaron left the series after 37 issues and now Kieron Gillen has picked up the torch, carrying it into a new era since its launch 3 years ago, building to issue #50 over two slow burn arcs. Star Wars #50 is a mostly exciting start to the subtly named “Hope Dies” arc, as the Rebellion learns the hard way this war with the Empire is far from won and far from over. Issue #50 also includes a bonus one-shot that uncovers the tale behind the betrayal instrumental in bringing the Rebellion back to its knees. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #50”

Two miniseries, the new Lando and The Last Jedi adaptation, come to an end, but the biggest blow is Poe Dameron‘s adventures coming to a close for good.
