The first volume of Kieron Gilllen and Kev Walke’rs “Doctor Aphra” ranks, for my money, as one of this year’s biggest surprises: a series based entirely around a secondary character from Gillen’s prior “Darth Vader” ongoing that somehow also managed to feel fresh, distinct, and genuinely exciting. I look forward to the next adventure of Doctor Aphra. The first collection of hers swayed me somewhat but now I am a total convert. I wasn't crazy about this character in her introduction in another comic run.

This was just a well rounded collection that has made me a true fan of the character. Throughout this collection I chuckled, appreciated the artwork, and loved the action. The last concept was handled so much better in this than in the movie Solo. We get a flashback as we learn about a side character, return of a character that I truly appreciate, and the murder droids that seek freedom. This collection had a little of everything. I am grateful for that as we get to see her high jinks and enjoy the ride. She is a scoundrel who is trying to make her way in the galaxy but things never go the way she intends. This was such a fun collection and I see the appeal of this character now. Things do not go exactly the way she had planned.Īlright. She now holds an open auction where this crystal is for sale. In the last collection, Doctor Aphra has found a way to activate the crystal in which an ancient Jedi resides. This volume was just Gillen having fun showing how our Archaeologist just gets into the most weird adventures but still is and acts nobles at times so it's fun to read so yeah definitely do check it out and the art is okayish for the most part but it's the story that will have you hooked.

The twists with the wookie and the droids was fun, the latter seems to be in a weird interesting state seems like next volume and I am excited to read it. This book is quintessential Aphra showing the crazy hijinks she gets involved in and how everything gets messy and all but somehow alright too haha. yeah it's got lots of crazy moments and I highly recommend it! This was an interesting volume as we get to see the origins of Black Krrasantan and that was fun and weird and turns out Aphra was using him for distraction for her own purposes: announcing an auction and wow it's wild, I love how the different factions are introduced and then we have the craziness there and the one with Shadow library people was fun but then Triple-Zero enacting his own plans which was a twist I didn't see coming and my god it's a nightmare for them and a pandemonium and also Vader comes in.
