When Rogue Squadron leader Wedge Antilles is downed in a bloody battle against Imperial All Terrain Scout Transports, he is forced to form an uneasy alliance with the Cilpari natives, whose dislike for the Rebels is only dwarfed by their hatred for the Empire. Wedge must regroup Rogue Squadron before the Cilpari alliance is shattered, and rejoin the battle to save the galaxy!
Even though these are late 90's comics... they feel much older. These give off 1970's vibes more than anything, which at the time of their release... probably didn't feel as impactful as they do now in the 2020's. Long story short... you can really see and feel the ~25-40 years of age with these. Form the artwork, to the dialog, to the plot. And it's not wonderfully nostalgic, but on the flip side just rough all around.
The cave scenario of a crashed ship with its crew undergoing Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape (SERE) continues. Some Rebel vs Imp action going down, along with a Wookiee who rampages through Stromtroopers as he rips them limb from limb.
At 36 issues deep, the journey begins with these X-Wing Rogue Squadron comics. Here we go #3.
