About the author
Marjorie M. Liu
319 books4,313 followersNew York Times bestselling and award-winning writer Marjorie Liu is best known for her fiction and comic books. She teaches comic book writing at MIT, and she leads a class on Popular Fiction at the Voices of Our Nation (VONA) workshop.
Ms. Liu is a highly celebrated comic book writer. Her extensive work with Marvel includes the bestselling Dark Wolverine series, NYX: No Way Home, X-23, and Black Widow: The Name of the Rose. She received national media attention for Astonishing X-Men, which featured the gay wedding of X-Man Northstar and was subsequently nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding media images of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Ms. Liu also wrote the story for the animated film, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow and Punisher, which was produced by Marvel, Sony Pictures Entertainment (Japan) Inc., and Madhouse Inc.
Her newest work is MONSTRESS, an original, creator-owned comic book series with Japanese artist (and X-23 collaborator) Sana Takeda. Published by Image in Fall 2015, MONSTRESS is set in an alternate, matriarchal 1920’s Asia and follows a girl’s struggle to survive the trauma of war. With a cast of girls and monsters and set against a richly imagined aesthetic of art deco-inflected steam punk, MONSTRESS #1 debuted to critical praise. The Hollywood Reporter remarked that the longer than typical first issue was “world-building on a scale rare in mainstream comics.”
Ms. Liu is also the author of more than 19 novels, most notably the urban fantasy series, Hunter Kiss, and the paranormal romance series, Dirk & Steele. Her novels have also been bestsellers on USA Today, which described Liu “as imaginative as she is prolific.” Her critically praised fiction has twice received the Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award, for THE MORTAL BONE (Hunter Kiss #6), and TIGER EYE (Dirk & Steele #1). TIGER EYE was the basis for a bestselling paranormal romance video game called Tiger Eye: Curse of the Riddle Box.
Liu has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, MTV, and been profiled in the Wall Street Journal.com, Hollywood Reporter, and USA Today. She is a frequent lecturer and guest speaker, appearing on panels at San Diego Comic Con, the Tokyo Literary Festival, the New York Times Public Lecture series, Geeks Out; and the Asian American Writers Workshop. Her work has been published internationally, including Germany, France, Japan, Poland, and the United Kingdom.
Ms. Liu was born in Philadelphia, and has lived in numerous cities in the Midwest and Beijing. Prior to writing full-time, she was a lawyer. She currently resides in Boston.

[ESP/ENG]
Y no me dedico a las carreras. Yo vuelo por corredores. A vida o muerte. A toda pastilla. Señoras, fui yo quien recorrió Kessel en menos de doce parsecs.
Tercero de los tomos, este centrado en dos de los personajes más carismáticos de la saga (aunque yo siempre he sido de Luke), Han Solo y Chewbacca. Son nuevamente dos historias, aquí una más importante que la otra sin duda. En la primera parte, Solo y Chewie se ven metidos en una misión de rescate para la Rebelión mientras deben participar en una carrera muy peligrosa llamada El vacío del dragón. Una aventura donde se nos reflejará cómo ha cambiado Solo, algo que se refleja en sus pensamientos. La historia cuenta con guión de Marjorie Liu y dibujo de Mark Brooks, muy bien por parte de ambos.
En cuanto a la segunda historia, con guión de Gerry Dugan y dibujo de Phil Noto, tenemos una aventurilla en solitario de Chewbacca, en la que le veremos ayudar a los necesitados, porque aunque sea capaz de arrancarte los brazos y pegarte con ellos, tiene un corazón muy grande. Esta es una historia bastante menor, aunque veremos un error histórico corregido:
No es de lo mejor que se haya escrito sobre los personajes pero mantiene su esencia, y si el lector es poco conocedor de este universo, le servirá para hacerse una idea de los caracteres de ambos personajes.
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
And I don't do races. I do runs. Life or death, straight down the line. Lady, I made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs.
Third of the volumes, this one focuses on two of the most charismatic characters in the saga (although I have always been a Luke fan), Han Solo and Chewbacca. There are again two stories, here one more important than the other without a doubt. In the first part, Solo and Chewie find themselves on a rescue mission for the Rebellion while they must participate in a very dangerous race called The Dragon Void. An adventure where we will be shown how Solo has changed, something that is reflected in his thoughts. The story has a script by Marjorie Liu and drawing by Mark Brooks, very good from both of them.
As for the second story, scripted by Gerry Dugan and drawn by Phil Noto, we have a little Chewbacca solo adventure, in which we will see him help those in need, because even if he is capable of ripping off your arms and hitting you with them, he has a very big heart. This is a fairly minor story, although we will see a historical error corrected:
It is not the best that has been written about the characters but it maintains their essence, and if the reader has little knowledge about this universe, it will help them get an idea of the characters of both of them.

holiss, buenas tardes lectores!! acabo de terminarme este maravilloso cómic, el tercero de "Bienvenidos al universo de Star Wars" y, lamentablemente, solo me compré este porque Han Solo y Chewbacca son mis favoritos. No me perdí nada por no leer los dos primeros porque cada cómic narra la historia de personajes diferentes, así que no pasa nada si no se leen todos o desordenados, al menos esa sensación me ha dado. Me ha encantado y me ha durado solo cinco días, es súper ameno y está dividido en la primera mitad protagonizada por Han y en la segunda mitad protagonizada por Chewbacca y está genial, me ha encantado. Muy buena la calidad de los dibujos, la trama y la facilidad para leerlo y seguir el hilo narrativo sin perderlo como en otros cómics. Además viene con cubiertas de imágenes y dibujos de algunas escenas míticas e inventadas para el cómic y en el final explican algunas cosas sobre la historia de Star Wars y de ellos dos. Sin duda, para ser Star Wars de Disney, no ha defraudado.

El dibujo no es mi estilo, no me convencen las historias, tiene mucho texto escrito muy pequeño y no aporta mucho, la verdad. Me ha decepcionado, pero tampoco soy especialmente fan de este estilo de lecturas así que es una opinión personal. He tardado más de un mes en acabar este cómic de lo poco que me motivaba.

Al igual que el anterior de Lando, éste me ha parecido un poco más flojo. Le doy un punto más por Loo Re Anno y las últimas páginas sobre Chewie.

Entretenido, especialmente la primera parte, la carrera del vacío del Dragón, que me ha gustado, ha sido ágil y divertida, con personajes curiosos que me gistaria ver más y la pareja de siempre Han y Chewy a los mandos del halcón milenario no falla. . La segunda historia, protagonizada por Chewbacca me ha parecido más atropellada y con poco interés.
