For me, Doctor Aphra has been a lousy story ever since she got her own series. This volume is no exception, but it's even a bit more annoying than usual because Aphra is allowed to influence real Star Wars characters and events. There is no way that she and the two droids would be able to defeat Darth Vader. And setting up the Rebel base on Hoth shouldn't have anything to do with Aphra. In the end, rather than allow Aphra to sacrifice herself for some noble cause, the writers only have her helping a few of the people she's swindled in past issues, and then she gets to go free through the galaxy. Even the droids are, yet again, nearly destroyed, but of course will be rebuilt and do the same shtick all over again in the next book.

A fun, sad end to this first of Aphra stories.
I can't wait for the next creative team and where they go but it is a hard act to follow. This series could be comical, a tense running man game and sad and all within the same issue.
