I blew through all of the remaining Poe Dameron issues in a single reading spree, so I’ll just write one review for all of it: it’s a very solid series, fleshing out Poe and his hotshot team of pilots, Black Squadron. This is the best sort of tie-in, providing additional in-between adventures which add depth to a set of supporting characters who we never even get to know in the movies: I now have so many feelings about poor Jessika Pava and her bad luck with droids, or Snap and Karé Kun’s romance, or even a little droid romance for BB-8 (my! heart!!!).
It delves into fun heists and action, plucky rebels, betrayal, and also Poe learning to set aside his ego and learn to sacrifice for the good of the mission. Plus: a really great ongoing villain in the form of Agent Terex; he’s so closely-tied to Poe and Lor San Tekka in my mind now that it’s bizarre that he doesn’t actually exist in the films.

Oddly's story is tied up, and I love the new edition to the team. We also learn more about the other members, so good installment.

This series is doing a lot to make make me more interested in Poe as a character.
The art got really gorgeous in this one. The story also is getting progressively better.
While the previous installments focused more on Poe, this one expanded into Black Squadron and I'm so glad it did! I knew a lot of Snap's backstory from reading Aftermath, but it was great to experience more of the personalities and dynamics within Black Squadron. Also, I'm a fan of Suralinda—she's a great addition to this comic, adding a bit of gray and pluck to this world. (There's still some pacing issues, but overall I really enjoyed this collection.)
A good continuation, and improvement, on the previous story arc. I really like the new journalist character too.
I think the story has found its footing, but leaving it stuck pre Force Awakens ties its hands a little.
