I feel like this comic is best read as a companion piece to the Phasma novel. They work well together. The comic hints at things character-wise for Phasma that the novel has more time to explore in-depth. The artwork is gorgeous. I especially like some of the design work here, too, as with Phasma's disguise. the story is a quick one, but I thought it was a lot of fun and had a good amount of energy to it.

This graphic novel is part of the new Star Wars canon. It gives some brief explanations of what happened in the few weeks following Return of the Jedi and gives some information on the origin of an Episode VII character (Poe Dameron). You get to see Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, etc. The art isn't great . . . the story isn't great . . . but this will give you something to chew on before seeing Episode VII.

Didn't pay enough attention to this the first time around. It's good.

This is basically a short story about Poe Dameron's parents, and why he's so loyal to Leia, and the rebellion. I love it. His parents are adorable and I'm glad I got to read about their strength and love as they fight for the right to raise him in a free Galaxy. :)

A phenomenal little Han/Chewie adventure that perfectly captures the characters in all their irreverent glory. Introduces a few new characters and , as with the rest of the "Journey to Force Awakens" books, effortlessly re-organizes and fleshes out some of the time between Jedi and Episode VII.

I loved this story that spotlighted B.A. women like Shara Bey--and then Leia & the queen of Naboo later. I also really appreciate that the artwork for it all made these women look beautiful and strong without hyper-sexualizing anyone. I just wish it was longer.
When I first saw The Force Awakens I was confused by the implication that the happy ending of Return of the Jedi didn't pan out; this story explains that dissonance in a way I needed. As someone who doesn't go to comics for supplementary materials of movie franchises--because I'm someone who doesn't realize that would be necessary--I think it's too bad that Lucas Films/Disney didn't set up The Force Awakens the way this comic does by using the same medium: film. Disney couldn't put a short attached to some other but related movie!? Please.
Now on to Star Wars: Princess Leia!

Not bad. I enjoyed seeing Leia and other ladies being more into the action. Plus, there's a delightfully terrifying thing regarding the Emperor. Plus, of course Endor's not the end. Still, it seemed a little thin.

Arte bem superior ao argumento, que não vai muito além de uma enchidela de chouriço a capitalizar numas boas referências.

The art is stunning. Phasma is a jerk. I liked Pilot and the new aliens. If you’re really jumping at the bit to know how Phasma got out of the trash compactor after episode VII, pick this up... otherwise don’t bother.
