The art is really good, although at times it's a little unclear which order the speech bubbles should be read in.

The story is fine, not amazing. I'm honestly just mad they've put 99% of the Phasma content outside the actual films. They did this character so wrong.

Really good artwork, with stunning colouring.
The first issue was really interesting and good, but then the story dragged out without much happening. Then fastly resolved in the last issue. It could have easily been done in just one longer issue instead of four.
The most interesting part of the story is the short glimpse (a few panels) we get of Phasmas past. Would rather the author filled the empty spaces in the main story with more backstory, instead of the war that just felt out of place.

Lead-in comic mini-series to "The Last Jedi", following Captain Phasma's disappointing showing (i.e didn't do much, then got sent down a garbage chute) in "The Force Awakens".

This, effectively, is about how she covers her failings and works her way back into The First Order, covering her tracks and using another escapee from the now-explodeed StarKiller base as her fall guy.

While the art - like all the recent Marvel Star Wars issues - is good, the story, however, leaves a lot to be desired: there's nothing really memorable about this, now real 'wow' moment (like there was in '[b:Vader Down|27247275|Vader Down (Star Wars)|Jason Aaron|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1462909901s/27247275.jpg|47296344]') to make it stick in the mind.

In short: forgettable.

I can’t believe how much incredible work went into making Phasma an interesting character after they fumbled in TFA, only to make the character meaningless AGAIN in TLJ. Why did they even bother? I’m still upset about it.

This is a side quest for a character who stands out visually in the movies. The art is fantastic and the story moves quickly.

Fun story, but it felt incredibly short. After reading Phasma by Delilah Dawson, it also felt a bit redundant.
