quadrille 's review for:

4.0

I blew through all of the remaining Poe Dameron issues in a single reading spree, so I’ll just write one review for all of it: it’s a very solid series, fleshing out Poe and his hotshot team of pilots, Black Squadron. This is the best sort of tie-in, providing additional in-between adventures which add depth to a set of supporting characters who we never even get to know in the movies: I now have so many feelings about poor Jessika Pava and her bad luck with droids, or Snap and Karé Kun’s romance, or even a little droid romance for BB-8 (my! heart!!!).

It delves into fun heists and action, plucky rebels, betrayal, and also Poe learning to set aside his ego and learn to sacrifice for the good of the mission. Plus: a really great ongoing villain in the form of Agent Terex; he’s so closely-tied to Poe and Lor San Tekka in my mind now that it’s bizarre that he doesn’t actually exist in the films.
