Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #10

This is a great issue, maybe one of the best yet in the series! The art by Height, Olazaba, and Rosenberg suits the series perfectly, although it's strange they mixed up the penciller for just this one issue. Read Full Review

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #10 concludes the current storyline. Thats what it does. If you are currently reading the title, overall I do not think you will be disappointed. If you are not reading it, this is not a good place to start. As a Star Wars fan, Im looking forward to the upcoming Star Wars: War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event. But to call this issue a prelude is in this reviewer's opinion a publicity stunt.  Read Full Review

Now that Lucky and Aphra are headed to a reunion, it looks like the former partners will have to side together again and make peace, or struggle separately against the mighty bounty hunter Durge. Read Full Review

Doctor Aphra #10 is a benign start to the series' War of the Bounty Hunters arc. Its conclusion leaves me willing to believe that some good following issues may ensue. But as a beginning, the story is too attached to its previous arc and does little, seemingly, to prepare for the coming story until the final panels. Nevertheless, there is still a good High Republic reference and nice banter between Starros and Aphra. Read Full Review

Given how little readers know about the "War of the Bounty Hunters," this is one of the more exciting preludes out there, which we hope uses Aphra to her full potential. Read Full Review

I would recommend this if you are a fan of this series, but everyone else maybe wait until the main story starts proper before you dive in. Read Full Review

This continues to be the weakest of all Star Wars books currently. Sana and Aphra continue to meander around the galaxy, barely escaping each situation they find themselves in through Aphra's charisma and a bit of luck. I remember how much I loved Aphra's early appearances in Darth Vader (2015), and I'm beginning to think she works best as a supporting character, not a series lead. There are only so many of these type of stories you can tell. The Nihil Hyperdrive is a rather flat MacGuffin, not anything we ever use to find out more about the Nihil or the High Republic. Aphra's an archaeologist, no? If the writers of this book were more clever, wouldn't they use this as a way to tell cool stories that bridge eras? Hopefully, the upcoming War of the Bounty Hunters tie-ins gives this series the kick in the pants it needs. Right now it is irrelevant. more
