a comic showcasing varied adventures in the Star Wars universe. None of the stories particularly stood out except for Luke and Leia's and Lando and Sana's. I must give praise to Salvador Laroca for his simply gorgeous artwork. It is perhaps my favorite aspect of this run. ( )

First book from Aaron that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's an anthology of the sort that I wish the entire series was composed of. It's the sort of book that lets you enjoy Star Wars as a place, not just a saga. ( )

The art poorly mixes photo-realistic faces with more cartoony backgrounds. It looks odd. Also, most of the stories in this one were boring, with a couple exceptions. Sorry, but Aaron's run (like with Thor imo) ended on a downturn. Hopefully Gillen's run is better. ( )

This comic contains six stories of various lengths and one annual. In one story Luke and Leia find themselves stranded on a mostly water planet with no way to signal to the Rebels where they are. They must return to the basics for survival when the Imperials show up making things difficult for them.

When Sana comes to Lando with an offer he can't refuse what does he ask for in return? He may never get it if they get caught reselling the Imperial weapons that Sana doesn't have but one crate of that she sells to the Krawg pirates promising more. She double-crosses them to the Imperials and sells that information to them then goes to who really has the rest of the weapons hoping to make a deal and make another swindle.

Han Solo gets talked into taking Grakkus Hutt into custody and escorting him to the new prison across the galaxy. The Rebels have just liberated him from the Imperials and they hope to get ahold of his cache of weapons and are taking him to the prison for enhanced interrogation to get the information out of him about where those weapons are. The trip is anything but uneventful.

The Scar Squadron kidnapped C3PO and R2D2 is determined to go and rescue him all on his own piloting a plane by himself and wreaking havoc on an Imperial starship in order to save him from being thrown in the trash heap for knowing nothing, though that's not how C3PO sees it.

There is also the story of the Scar Squadron going out and a story of the Sand People. Also, the Annual is about how Leia and Han are using a smuggler's hideout to hide from the Empire and find themselves up against an old enemy of Han's. Nothing really connects these stories except that they occur throughout the galaxy "Among the Stars". While they are very interesting stories I think there were too many when you can't even really come up with a story for two of them (The Scar Squadron and the Sand People) so I'm taking off a little for that. Though what is there is interesting and shows the promise of a good story. The others are really good character studies and I love the art except for what was done on the annual. It was a bit too blotchy for my tastes. Overall it was a great book and I give it four and a half stars out of five. ( )

Nice collection of stories - more an anthology than one story - nicely done! ( )
