Graphic: War
The third volume of the Poe Dameron series is not as good as the previous book, but it's still not as terrible as almost every other current Star Wars graphic novel series. The problem with this story is a problem with the growing weight of the Star Wars franchise itself: too much sameness. Every new character is starting to feel like nothing more than some minor variation on a previous character. This mythology needs something new (and, unfortunately, it doesn't need the ways that The Last Jedi thought it was new).
Probably related to this problem, I can't clearly remember anything from the previous volumes. I vaguely remember Terex, but he also feels like a bad guy in the Vader series. Or am I misremembering? Who knows. It barely matters. Poe and his friends fly around on missions and shoot stuff and they always win. More troubling is the fact that I have no idea who the "legend" is in the title, "Legend Lost."
General Organa doesn't feel like a character who has lived through a rebellion already. Is it really a new concept to her that the Resistance needs to show the galaxy its personality, and also show how evil the First Order is? Whatever the case, we now know from The Last Jedi that everyone in the galaxy couldn't care less about the Resistance, which takes the urgency out of a lot of this story. Angel Unzueta's art for Leia looks pretty good, though, if a bit repetitive. Few artists have been able to make Leia look anything like herself in graphic novel form.
If this book weren't free from the Public Library, and if it took more than 45 minutes to read, I'd be grumpy. But as it is, it's an okay diversion, though not recommended to anyone except my fellow obsessive-compulsive Star Wars readers.

This was the volume when I stopped following this book monthly. This had more to do with life - I was prepping to move then tbe quality of the book.
The art is gorgeous and this is a fun addition to the Star Wars canon. Love, betrayal, space battles and a ship hardwired to explode once it decelerates.

Okay, but why does Leia always speak with a closed mouth though?

Still enjoying the series. Graphics were very detailed in this issue. Poe is on a mission to find Oddy and why he betrayed them. Terex is now the empire's slave (literally). Good action throughout and I really like the new character Suralinda Javos. Hopefully she'll remain in future issues.
A slight drop-off from the last collection, but still some of the better Star Wars comic material you'll find.
Agent Terex is quietly the best character in the series.

I liked the addition of Poe's ex-Navy turned journalist friend, and I'm just a big fan of Poe "too-suave-to-fuck-up-oh-shit-I-fucked-up" Dameron. Also Phil Noto's art, I guess.
