Star Wars #18

"COLLISION COURSE" lives up to the hype and I can't wait to read the next issue. And revisit this entire story arc when it gets released as a collected volume. Read Full Review

Charles Soule has definitely been one of my favorite Star Wars comics writers and he completely gets the character of Qi'ra here and sets her up for the future in a way that this event storyline hasn't been able to do well. I really like the ideas presented here, the conversation piece that unfolds, and the little character bits that we get with Lando and Lobot. I'm hopeful that this really does lead somewhere really interesting as it progresses and as we get to see how the comics line grows and changes as the Empire section will eventually end and we move on from there. The potential is here and I can see Qi'ra and Crimson Dawn really becoming something across the various media. Read Full Review

Rosanas has a brilliant eye for detail both in character and environment. The art is fantastic and visually engaging. Read Full Review

Given that most of this book is merely two characters having a conversation, it could be easy to dismiss this issue as nothing more than an exposition dump, but with those two characters being who fans assume to be the loves of Han Solo's life, it's an encounter that fans have been wondering about ever since we met Qi'ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story.

If you are into more action in a story then I would probably skip this one, but if you want to learn more about the characters in this series then pick it up. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed this issue. Much more dialogue than action, but I prefer that. The tense conversation between Leia and Qi'ra, the anecdote about young Han and the implication that Crimson Dawn and the Rebel Alliance will be working together all made for a very satisfying issue for me.
