Review: Aphra Encounters the Seedier Side of the Rebellion in Marvel’s Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #33
I mentioned in my review of the previous issue that the next chapter of the ongoing Doctor Aphra series seems to be off to a good start. Thankfully, if issue #33 is any further indication, it looks like I was absolutely right. After a series of mildly entertaining yet disappointingly mediocre issues, the comic series that was at one time my favorite Star Wars comic on the shelf seems to have hit its stride once again.
This month, Aphra and her new sidekick, Vulaada, find themselves caught up in the web of a conspiracy being woven by General Cracken of Rebel Intelligence to assassinate Emperor Palpatine. How will the good doctor respond to this revelation? Will she use her unique skills to help the rebels? Or will she choose to go her own way as she has so many times before? Find out this week in Marvel’s Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #33! Spoilers ahead…

SPOILER REVIEW – Alexander Freed’s Alphabet Squadron Paves The Way For A New Era In The Star Wars Universe
The Empire is not going away quietly in Alexander Freed’s Alphabet Squadron and the galaxy is a very dangerous place. I hope that’s not stating the obvious, because I feel that’s one thing you should know when picking up this novel – which tells a story set in a relatively untouched era of the Star Wars timeline. This is the story of Alphabet Squadron, composed of five pilots who’ve come aboard with their own stories and trauma of a war which continues to claim casualties and spread darkness amongst a galaxy in flux. The Battle of Endor was a watershed moment in the struggle and defeat of the Empire, but the goal posts of the frontlines were only moved that day, and the plurality of battlefields expanded. The fight became much uglier while the lines between heroes and villains skewed even further. Those blurry distinctions, coupled with a harrowing story of ending the conflicts to provide a foundation for the New Republic, line the pages of this wonderful novel. SPOILERS AHEAD….
