Things are heating up for Poe Dameron and super-spymaster C-3PO! The First Order is on their tail…and Terex's evil cronies as well. Not to mention… Who's feeding information to the First Order in the first place?

The spy vs spy dance between Terex and Poe continues.
Terex has a 1:1 with Captain Phasma. I definitely think he is going to get "Needs Improvement" on his Annual Review for tact, respect, and following plans, policies, and procedures. Terex as a whole continues to evolve into such a great character. He started off feeling like dud, to really shaping into something great. Playing multiple angles, super excited to see what happens to his crew in the upcoming issues. My guess, Terex comes out on top and the Ranc gang gets the short end of the Deathstick.
Poe has an "ah ha" moment, executes great decision making skills on the fly, and has some commendable space combat action to close out this issue.
Again, this is the paper edition which is not listed on here yet.
We start with Poe in a mighty pickle as Terex has caught up with him - just as Poe starts to work out who might be leaking information from his squadron. It's a fairly short issue, but it moves the story along nicely. The droid characters play a full part in proceedings and, despite the fact he *is* a droid, I'm convinced BB-8 has actual feelings. He certainly needs reassurance from time to time in a manner which is very human.
The only problem I have is that there is little real tension because, with the series being set before TFA, we already know that Poe, BB-8 and C-3PO survive. But it's still a good read. I look forward to getting hold of #12.
Short and sweet this one. Poe is heading to the Resistance base when he realises there maybe a mole giving information to the First Order. He has to find the mole and escape, not an easy task without backup.
The art is good and does the job.
This issue moves the story along but leans more towards the mystery angle rather than being action-packed. I like it.
This issue gave us both clarification of some suspicion of a character and a payoff to a big twist that Poe manages to figure out. Also, its great to see Terex talking down on Phasma and how Kylo Ren isn't as Intimidating as his grandfather was. Still a great villain and a good read!
El más flojo hasta ahora. Vamos que ya sé que es una grapa y que vale 2.50€, pero qué menos que suceda algo interesante o haya algún avance significativo, algo de chicha vaya...que los 2.50€ se me han hecho caros.
I don't care about Terex's backstory at all, which is holding me back from a 5-star review. I love C-3PO's spy network, though. And there are a few good twists in this issue!
An enjoyable issue, I've enjoyed this series quite a bit and quality has generally been quite high. I also liked the appearance of Captain Phasma, I'm eager to learn more about her character!
Not a train wreck like the last issue, thank goodness, but basically nothing happened. Also can we please just finally find out who the mole is?? I'm sick of it dragging out so far.
