Llegó el número donde el clímax comienza.
Star Wars: El Despertar de la Fuerza #5 prueba ser una adaptación fiel y competente a la película, pero con un ritmo tan apresurado que las escenas de mayor tensión se sienten insípidas al leerlas.
La escena de confrontación entre Han Solo y Kylo Ren debería de haber sido el punto fuerte de este ejemplar, era sin duda la parte que mas me emocionaba leer y no logró entregar algo memorable.
Con un número faltante para terminar la historia, encuentro difícil que el puro final logre cerrar satisfactoriamente esta historia.
3/5 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.

This graphic novel is an exact summary of the movie. As book 5 of a series, this series would be a nice addition to a collection if you have students highly interested in Star Wars.

Adding Han's thoughts as he confronts Kylo Ren was a nice touch.

Just one more to go. At least it has that going for it.
Once more, this issue is plagued with inconsistent art (Snoke's scarring is almost entirely gone in one panel, multiple Ren panels would make good meme material, and Leia's head keeps changing shape and seems related to onions etc), but at least there's a panel of Phasma falling into a garbage compactor. For me, that was easily the highlight of the issue.
The now-infamous confrontation between Han and Ren was handled rather plainly. Lots of close-ups of the two characters' faces, and that's all there is to the reactions of the bystanders and Leia. Tiny boxes with their heads showing shock and resignation. The issue once again fails in terms of pacing, giving the climax no time to sink in, and just going for a cheap cliffhanger.

A competent adaptation although the story does feel rushed and the art a bit uneven
