There may not be a Marvel book more frustrating in its inconsistency than Star Wars. Story-wise, the series has been reinvigorated by the debut of new writer Kieron Gillen and the effort paid to linking the events of Rogue One to the larger saga. But all that good work is being hindered by the garish artwork. You simply can't have a great comic without great art, and that seems to be a hurdle this series can't overcome in 2017.
There's plenty of compelling characterization to go around in this latest chapter. Luke is busy being exposed to the darker side of the war against the Empire as he teams up with Benthic and learn how the Partisans do business. Han shows a more sensitive side for a change as he coaxes the Millennium Falcon into performing past her limits. And perhaps most intriguing of all, Leia reflects on her late father and their final encounter before she made that fateful trip aboard the Tantive IV. All of this speaks to the great strength of Marvel's Star Wars comics. They may not affect the status quo of the larger franchise on the same level the old Expanded Universe books and novels did, but they add terrific new insight into the characters and relationships we thought we knew so well.
