Fantastic backstory for Black Krrsantan, aka BK.

"I really liked it." - 4 out of 5 star rating.

Dark Side Chewbacca has always been fun, but with this added depth gained from this Doctor Aphra Annual, I love the character even more.

I am hoping that this is a set-up as well for how he became part of Aphra's crew, which at this time still remains an untold mystery.

Really loving these Doctor Aphra's.

I love that we finally got some background on Black Krrsantan. Just wish the years were more specific. And apparently there is an undervine network. I almost didn't recognize Aphra because of how her hair was drawn, but this art style is refreshing after seeing Salvador Larocca's work and the mess that was The Screaming Citadel.

I thought it was a bit all over the place. And not that interesting. It is nice to see a bit of where our second most favourite Wookiee came from, but I just thought the story treatment could have been more exciting.

I happen to love Aphra. She's a female Star Wars version of Indiana Jones. We get to learn Star Wars history through her. In this one, however we get a self contained adventure with another chracter I love, Black Krrsantan. I want to see more of him and less of Beetee and Triple Zero.

Was it supposed to be funny? I don’t think so. The heroine is ridiculous and whole concept of the story and her characterization is cringe. Plot armor thick like always with this type of heroes. One star for attempting of action and immoral behavior of droids.

An enjoyable story that fills in some of Black Krrsantan's history.

I didn't really care much about Krrsantan, but his backstory was pretty cool. I like how this group is like an anti-version of the OT characters.

I love Doctor Aphra, and this was a great back story about her wookie companion.

Intéressant de connaître le passé de Black Krrsantan. Bonne histoire pour un annual. (Présent dans le tome 2 de Docteur Aphra)

Annual #1 – “Good. I’m Sulan Do. I’m Black Krrsantan’s agent. He’s waiting for you.” – actually Aphra.
