The comic book break out star continues to shine in her own book! Gillen is a master at joining dark humor with action and adventure. Enjoyed the archeological aspects.

I don’t think it’s possible not to love Doctor Aphra.

This was funny and really good. You quickly forget that none of the main characters are there because Aphra and her crew are just that cool.

I loved the backstory and the university stuff. It really builds Aphra as a whole person beyond her being an archaeologist.

I couldn’t wish for a better on-page sapphic character ☺️
