This is an interesting beginning to the series but it undermines the Aphra we know in the Vader series. There she was a capable and headstrong archaeologist with a crew of baddies at her command. In this series we find out she's a fraud and manipulative, which works to her advantage but she's more petulant and "kid-like" than before.

I was lucky to find this in the 50 cent bin at my comic shop, a lot of people in my discord group recommended it so when I found it I had to buy it.
What I liked: The cover drew me in for sure also the plot seems simple enough, we are following Dr. Aphra around and she collects artifacts and sells them. I enjoyed her companions who seems that they’ll do anything for her. Also the artwork neat and vibrant.
What I didn’t like: I’m not sure if I should read the Darth Vader series before hand? Will it help me understand the Dr. Aphra better? Also, I don’t understand why her father turned her in, that was messed up.
If I can remember I’ll probably pick up the second issue if I can find it.

I suspect I'm not a big enough Star Wars fan to fully appreciate this, but it was a fun adventure with a morally dubious heroine, written by the ever wonderful Kieron Gillen. So I'll give the next issue a whirl to see if I can get into the Doctor Aphra groove.

I don't really get it, maybe this gets a lot better? Why is her backstory somehow similar to Mara Jade's, yet she is in some ways more PG and in some ways somehow completely brutal? Why does this character exist, when there was already a much more interesting and awesome version of her?
