Unlike the rest of the series, this story takes place straight after the last book, with bruises still in place making for some nice continuity. The story in this one really did take second place to the characters and their relationships to one another. Filled with likeable characters and starfighter action, this was a pretty good conclusions to the graphic novel series with some impactful scenes.
The artwork was okay, not the best but good enough to show who's who.

This one didn't quite land for me. I get what they were trying to do with the story, particularly the comparison between Pestage and Fel, but it just didn't quite work. Maybe if the art had been better, or less of the story taken up with Isard's take over of the Imperial remnant. (Which seemed sort of poorly thought out anyway. I feel like killing off the leaders didn't clearly automatically transfer power to her.)

Also, there's so much infighting in the Imperial remnant that it almost feels like the rebels could just leave them to it and in a week all the leadership would've killed each other anyway.

Oh well.
