The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of STAR
WARS #7 from Dark Horse Comics. The story is by Brian Wood, pencils by Ryan
Kelly, inks by Dan Parsons, colors by Gabe Eltaeb, and lettering by Michael Heisler.
While in temporary hiding, Leia reveals to Luke the truth
about the stealth squadron. Luke devises a risky plan that might smoke out the
spy within the Rebellion. On Coruscant, Han and Chewie are trying to escape,
but Bossk and Boba Fett aren’t making it easy. Meanwhile, the Emperor arrives to
check the progress on the second Death Star. To his dismay he finds Vader gone
and Birra Seah supervising the project.
I’ve been waiting for this series ever since it was first
announced and I haven’t been let down yet. Brian Wood has taken our favorite
characters and given them new life. He shows how quickly Luke has grown and
matured in a short period of time. The scene on Tatooine where he morns the
loss of Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen and reflects what he had put them through is
amazing. I also like his new character Birra Seah; a Force sensitive who has
become a useful ally for Vader. I am very curious to see where Wood goes with
this alliance.
STAR WARS #7 is in stores now or available for ordering
