Star Wars Adventures #19

As I mentioned in my review ofStar Wars Adventures: Issue18, I still think waiting for the larger volumes is the way to go for this series. I will admit that I enjoyed both of these stories much more than the previous issues. However, these short stories are really just appetizers that I think will be much more digestible for Star Wars fans of all facets in a bigger serving size as they typically are realized with clearer themes.

Two engaging battle droid focused tales. The visuals on the first tale are fine, but the second tale is like an epiphany for Star Wars comics. IDW would be wise to get Nick Brokenshire back to this book or, better yet, give him a miniseries. Read Full Review

STAR WARS ADVENTURES #19 is a great example of what an all-ages book should be, and it continues the stellar work IDW Publishing is putting out in licensing. Read Full Review

Had the second story been as effective as the first, it could have been a rock solid issue, but the backup adventure offered audiences little excitement. Read Full Review

Overall, the issue has a solid, if not groundbreaking, primary story and a less-than-great backup story. I’m excited for the next issue featuring a primary story about Anakin and Yoda as well as apparently a backup story about Barriss Offee. I was surprised that Barriss would be chosen for a backup, considering her arc in this era, but there’s a lot of potential there and I’m looking forward to seeing what they do with her.

The comic also includes a back-up story in “Tales from Wild Space: The Big March” showcasing the further adventures of cartographer Emil Graf and his crew. Their latest destination offers opens the door about another story about a Battle Droid. Unlike Bats, Q5-7070 wasn't as lucky as after being separated from his unit the droid was forced to fend for himself on a hostile world of alien creatures all wanting to eat or destroy him. Those looking for short Star Wars tales, without jumping into the longer current Marvel Comics arcs, may enjoy themselves in the latest issue of the anthology issue. For fans. Read Full Review

A fun issue if you like some good battle droid action. I liked the first story more than the second, but the art was excellent in both.
