This art is not my favorite, unfortunately. However, I was a lot more interested in the story of Vol. 3 than I was of the previous volume. Poe's journalist friend is intriguing, and it was nice to see more of Black Squadron. I've seen some critiques of The Last Jedi saying that its characterization of Poe was insulting and flew in the face of previous characterization, but if anything, what I see here in the comics only serves to reinforce his TLJ character development as a logical arc.
The Poe Dameron title continues to be a fun adventure book. The Black Squadron get more individual attention here and its appreciated. This arc was a slight step back due to the antagonists here. Terex, in original form, is missed and not replaced easily. The art also switched to Angel Unzueta, whose style is similar enough to Phil Noto's to not seem jarring. Overall, another solid read.
I didn’t think this story was as good as previous volumes, but I still really enjoyed reading this. The banter between Black Squadron is perfect and adds some much needed humor. There’s a pun here that is so perfect I screamed. Snap constantly telling Poe he doesn’t have magical powers and then stuff magically happening for them was comedic gold!! The artwork is still fabulous and really captures the characters likeness. I love that we get to learn more about the other members of Black Squadron, especially the glimpses into Jessika’s history.
3.5 stars. Enjoyable, and we get to see individual members of Black Squadron being more than just helmets in cockpits. The story picks up shortly after the end of the previous volume; the squadron must deal with the fallout from their last mission, while Leia must deal with more mundane and vital matters of keeping the Resistance fuelled and fed.

Best of the three so far I think, though I preferred the art style of the previous volumes. The characters feel convincing and I'm a lot more invested in both the heroes and the villains.
With Terex neutered and a less than interesting doped-up replacement antagonist, a bit of the stream has gone out, but the dogfights are very exciting.
