Star Wars #61

Goodbyes, hellos, and a major “Uh oh!” that features outstanding visuals. I enjoyed this issue because elements of the story are settled, while others are just beginning. There are also several character moments that ring absolutely true. The visuals are a big improvement over previous issues, with the art clearly seen. This is a Star Wars outing I can get behind. This was fun and I would like to restate that Broccardo should be the regular artist on this book. Read Full Review

The art by Andrea Broccardo is great. Hopefully, the next issue will give the artist more to do visually. Read Full Review

While I enjoyed aspects of this arc it was one that didn't feel like it really brought together as much as it needed in order to feel worth it for six installments. I liked the beginning and the uncertainty and there's a curiosity about how Hubin operated once we got into it. But the stronger part was seeing Leia getting her things together and then the epilogue that sets up the next arc. This issue has some really delightful fun with Threepio negotiating to get the coordinates to meet up with the Alliance and that he gets aggressive is just wonderful since its unrelated and ratches up the tension unintentionally. I'm hopeful for a strong arc coming up since it'll involve Trios and I really like that character and the needle she's threading to survive and gain power. Read Full Review

The Villain

I would consider this a noticeable upgrade in the art department. The issue is mostly set up for the next arc, but it proves to be an interesting one.
