The Black Squadron banter (*Poe getting roasted) is giving me life.

This has been an awesome title. This issue brought the fuel crisis story to a dramatic finish. What I like about this comic is the stories they tell remind me of old WW2 flying combat tales. Well told with great characters. It doesn’t tie into the movies much, but I think that gives more freedom to tell these stories. Love this series.

This continues the storyline about the Resistance fuel shortage and the booby-trapped tanker. I like the fact that again, it highlights the teamwork of Black Squadron. The comic may carry Poe's name, but he couldn't do half of these things without his squadmates and their respective droids. There's also a different dynamic with Terex now that he has been... "reprogrammed" shall we say, by the First Order. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.

"It was amazing." - 4.5 star rating, with a round up to a 5.

Couldn't put it down. I casually opened this while getting ready to rack some balls to play a solo game of pool, when I was suddenly pulled into this comic to the point where I stood in place and was locked in until finished.

Even though this doesn't have any Jedi, Sith Lords, it's even a Sequel era comic... I honestly cannot say anything negative whatsoever about this issue. The reader grip was as good as it gets as well, with this comic being good enough to be brought to life on the big screen in say a TV Show/Film.

What's even more amazing about this issue, is that it honestly stands entirely on its own. You could skip all 15 comics to the left of this and as a moderate-level Star Wars fan who at the bare minimum likes comic books and has at least watched the movies once - you would absolutely have a blast with this issue as a standalone. Pun intended for those who have the comic.

The main theme of this comic: Tension is Space. I shall leave it at that.

Really looking forward to #17 up next!

La serie de Dameron va dando tumbos, veniamos de un arco muy interesante y vuelven a meter relleno. Muy mal.

[Steven Shinder · Rating 4 out of 5]

An action-packed conclusion to a really short arc.

[Norrin Shearer · Rating 4 out of 5]

That was an exciting way for the story to develop. I like pathetic mind controlled Terex. This series is picking up steam!

#16 – “I have eyes, pal! I KNOW the shield’s about to … fail.” – Poe

This issue is kind of like the movie Speed... but in space.
Essentially kind of dumb, but at the same time kind of fun!
