Review – If You Aim For The Emperor You Better Not Miss In Marvel’s Doctor Aphra #36
Despite the recent news, our Doctor Aphra presses on in her adventures across the galaxy – but in this issue, she’s hit a bump. The doctor and her young ward have been caught up in a plan to overthrow the Emperor, cooked up by none other than the Imperal Minister of Propaganda, Pitina Voor. Aphra isn’t one to shy away from a good scheme but most anyone in a galaxy far, far away would have some trepidation about gunning for Darth Sidious. Aphra knows just how dangerous it can be to deal with Sith Lords but unfortunately she doesn’t have much of choice because the plan is already in motion. SPOILERS AHEAD….
Review – The Sisters Who Resist in Marvel’s Age of Resistance: Rose Tico
We met Rose Tico in the midst of tremendous loss during The Last Jedi. She’d just lost her sister, Paige, and the Resistance lost nearly their entire fleet. Nevertheless, Rose put aside her grief for her family and friends to continue the fight. She never faltered throughout the film. While some of the other protagonists took winding journeys through the plot, Rose focused on keeping the Resistance alive in hopes of defeating the First Order. Rose Tico was relentless in her goal and this issue of Age of Resistance shows you that’s been true her whole life. A profile in courage, honor, love, and loyalty – this is an excellent addition to Rose Tico’s story. SPOILERS AHEAD….
Marvel To End Multiple Star Wars Series In December with Star Wars: Empire Ascendant
StarWars.com broke some major news this morning. The ongoing series Star Wars and Doctor Aphra will see their runs end in November, along with the conclusion of limited-series Target: Vader. The big three will see their story come to a close in the three year window between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. Doctor Aphra’s series has run parallel to this timeline, as well, sometimes even seeing her pop-up in the titular title. Beilert Valance is a Legends character recently made canon in Han Solo: Imperial Cadet and is a focal character in the Target: Vader series, which has been solid so far. This is a VERY big deal and to tie all loose ends of these stories up, Marvel is bringing in a team of some amazing writers to do it in one, massive book titled Star Wars: Empire Ascendant to be released this December.
