This is getting ridiculous .. I was really hoping for something new, a new info I don't know or at least a perfect draw to admire but No. Have to wait for another issue when Rey, Finn, and Han will arrive at Takodana

Read like a lite Cliff notes graphic version of the movie. Of which, by the way, I saw and good thing as I think some of the incidents in this story seem to come out of the blue.

No estoy muy segura de por qué exactamente, pero Star Wars: El Despertar de la Fuerza #2 fue mas sencillo y ligero de leer que su predecesor. Me inclino a creer que tiene que ver con el hecho de que el #1 estaba dando la introducción a la historia y el #2 ya entró de lleno a la acción ... o tal vez mi cariño por esta historia me esté nublando un poco el juicio.
Sea cual sea el caso, si creo que hubo una mejora del ejemplar pasado a éste.
No se que tanto me este gustando el arte de Luke Ross. Hay algo en su manera de hacer los personajes que no me cuadra. Mi mayor inconveniente es con Han Solo, su cara es considerablemente distinta a la cara de Harrison Ford, lo cual es bastante malo cuando tu historia es una adaptación 100% fiel a la película.
3.5/5 estrellas

"It was okay." - 2 out of 5 star rating.
This is The Force Awakens (TFA) at 3x speed.
It's honestly moving so fast, it's hard for me to justify giving this anything higher than 2 stars. If this is what to expect for the remaining comics of this series, this is going to be a pretty quick/light read-through. Which I am okay with.
At this point you are better off just re-watching TFA to experience the full story versus getting the speed run delivery here. But... maybe that is their 'Adaptation'... using Force Speed to get through this content.

STAR WARS- THE FORCE AWAKENS, Adaptation.
Awesome reproduction of the film.
.
#2- The Graveyard of Giants. Once the site of a massive battle between The Republic and the Galactic Empire. A battle the Empire LOST. And now scavengers pick the bones of old, dead starships.

The art is still great and this is better than the previous issue. Not really anything new though.

"Very Star Wars-y"

Still bland with no real value added. The art is decent and can hold its own, but everything feels like it could've been stills from the movie instead, with the exact same script. Chuck Wendig has about 3 yellow boxes of phrases for expositions this time, halfway through, which are utterly redundant. How he is considered the author when there is really nothing of his own in this series so far is beyond me.
Watch the movie or read the novelizations. Even The Force Awakens—Rey's Story had more added content and insights in the characters and would serve you better than reading 6 bland issues of this adaptation. You won't take anything new from this here, but you might from Alan Dean Foster's or Koegge's works.

Not much better than issue #1. How sad.
