All the sales and marketing people should love this issue. When trying to start a revolution you need to tell a story to keep people engaged. Simply brilliant.

"I liked it!" - 3 out of 5 star rating.
Kick-off issue for the new arc: War Stories, within this ~30 issue Poe Dameron comic book series.
First impression wise, they brought back a favorite character of mine Suralinda Javos, a Na'vi (Avatar) look-alike alien that is just super cool. Similar background story of Wookiees, her species was enslaved by the Empire/First Order and are mostly extinct now. Trying to prove herself, make her remaining people proud, siding with the Resistance, all that good stuff. She also spits acid/poison Mortal Kombat Reptile style... so much fun.
Our new main Villain, First Order Officer Malarus gets a little more backstory filled in here as well. Now I know why she is built like an Olympian... she's on that juice - aka, she is taking a drug that makes her super jacked and provides unnatural extension of human life. I'll take it. She is now no longer Terex 2.0, which I appreciate.
Finally, we have a 3-way split going on here with the other sub-section of this arc going over the pursuit of a Resistance traitor. I'm sure however though that all three paths will connect here very soon.
So far so good on this new arc. Onward to #18.

As ever, this review is of the paper edition, which GR does not seem to acknowledge.
Having solved the fuel crisis, Poe and his team now pick up some plot threads from further back, namely the journalist Suralinda who was introduced in #7, and the case of Oddy Muva the rogue technician. It did seem a bit strange that issue 7 seemed to introduce a character then forget her in the next one, so it's good to see that Suralinda is still around and now has something to do. Black Squadron still don't entirely trust her and it will be interesting to see how this plays out. It also lets us spend a bit more time with Jess Pava and Kare, while Poe and Snap try to trace Oddy.
It's an interesting installment, we get to learn a bit more about some of the characters, although it's clearly a case of setting up what will happen over the next issue(s).

This is so much better! The last couple of issues weren't as good as the rest of the series but once again the quality has stepped back up. The writing is really well done, implementing a new story arc that encompasses the unresolved parts of the previous arcs. I also really enjoyed the art, it's effective and bold.

So glad that Suralinda is finally a prominent character. Now #7 doesn't feel like a throwaway issue. Really like that this arc delves into war, journalism, and propaganda.

Jessika Pava, Karé Kun and Suralinda Javos working together against the First Order? YES.

3.5/5. This is shaping up to be an interesting arc! I'm looking forward to more Sura and also getting deeper into Jess's backstory.

Not bad for a new story arc. We rarely hear about Lor San Tekka these days, though... I feel like we are just killing time with this comics series.

Another excellent issue.
