Star Wars: Agent of the Empire, Volume 1: Iron Eclipse by John Ostrander
3.0
I’m still pretty new to the world of graphic novels and this is my first exposure to Star Wars that wasn’t one of the movies. I ended up reading this graphic novel, like many before it, because the boyfriend brought it home from the library and gave it kudos.
I grew up on Star Wars so it was fun to see Han and Chewie in print (Holy god, I had to laugh at all the Chewie dialogue though—“Rawrr Rarww!” –Really?!?). Han’s lines were classic, but I would have liked to see a little more original snark, but that’s just me. I still loved him anyway—he’s Han Freaking Solo after all!
Cross was interesting. Like I said above, I haven’t had any exposure to any Star Wars other than the movies, so to meet a character who is pro-Empire, anti-Republic—but still a good guy, that was kind of interesting.
If the boyfriend brings home more Cross adventures, I’ll probably go ahead and read those too.
