I enjoyed Kieron Gillen's original character Dr. Aphra in her original run as Darth Vader's erstwhile tolerated wingman, but I had reservations about her as a headlining act. My fears were unfounded. As a black-mirror Han Solo, Aphra is ready for some enjoyable Star War romps. The gang is all here: evil, murderous R2-D2 analog; evil, murderous C-3PO analog; and an evil, murderous, judgey Chewbacca analog. Aphra is no friend of rebels or imperials. She's no real friend of anyone. It's just her, the great big galaxy, a supporting cast that she owes money to, and some ancient Star Wars mysteries to uncover.

Tenía muchas ganas de empezar con Doctora Aphra pero la verdad es que me ha dejado algo frío. El personaje tiene un potencial tremendo, pero me da la sensación que es todo demasiado típico. Ahora tengo miedo total si seguir la saga o no, ya que no dejan de ser 7 tomos y encima a mitad se cambia de autor... veremos a ver.

Something about Gillen's writing just doesn't flow for me...

The story was a little hard to keep up with, but I enjoyed it! A little like Indiana Jones and Star Wars had a kid. A quick fun read!
