About the author
Devin Grayson
508 books118 followersDevin Grayson is an avid gamer, former acting student, and enthusiastic reader fortunate enough to have turned a lifelong obsession with fictional characters into a dynamic writing career. She has a B.A. from Bard College, where she studied creative writing with novelist Mona Simpson. Best known for her work on the Batman titles for DC Comics, Devin has been a regular writer on Catwoman, Nightwing, and The Titans, and contributed to the award-winning No Man’s Land story arc. With the publication of Batman: Gotham Knights in March of 2000, she became the first (and, sadly, only as of 2020) female to create, launch and write an ongoing Batman title.
Additional career highlights include the launch of the critically acclaimed series Omni for Humanoids, Doctor Strange: The Fate of Dreams, an original novel featuring Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme, and USER—a highly personal three-part, creator-owned miniseries about gender identity and online role-playing, originally published by Vertigo and newly available as a collected edition hardcover through Image. Devin is also the creator of Yelena Belova, a Marvel character staring in the upcoming MCU Black Widow movie (played by Florence Pugh), Damien Darhk, a DC character now appearing regularly in CW’s Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow (played by Neal McDonough), and Catalina Flores, a DC character recently featured as the super-villain Tarantula in The Lego Batman Movie.
Frequently cited for compelling character development and nuanced exploration of complex themes, Devin’s work has been showcased in mainstream media such as USA Today and Working Woman as well as in alternative press such as The Village Voice, The Advocate, and Curve magazine. Over the years, she has written in several different media and genres, from comic books and novels to video game scripts and short essays. She is currently working on an original graphic novel for Berger Books.
Devin lives in Northern California with her husband, step-son, devoted Early Alert Canines Diabetic Alert Dog, and somewhat less devoted cat. Openly bisexual, she is a passionate advocate for the GLBTQ community, as well as being a committed environmentalist, and a public speaker for T1 Diabetes awareness and Diabetic Alert Dogs. She is always happy to take on a new challenge, especially if it involves making some new fictional friends.

Yay, an original Hera story!
May 15, 2020
"There’s a lot of turbulence and a lot of loss… but we do what we can to make a difference. Any time we can. Any way we can. And I guess after a while it becomes a kind of habit. Even when you’re hurt or scared or running out of hope… you just keep doing the next thing that needs to be done."
This was a fun, though, ultimately I think, a slightly forgettable comic. The art is very pretty and the story is fun - Hera is on a mission to ask a farming community to help the Rebellion by giving them food but ends up helping the locals get rid of the Empire that has already arrived on the planet and is determined to get everything it can out of the farm and its workers - but it's nothing special. You don't get any super deep insights about Hera, it's very much a story that highlights aspects of her you already know from the show: her compassion, her wit, her bravery and her quick thinking.
If you like Hera/Star Wars: Rebels, you lose nothing by reading this. It's a fun story and, as someone who really likes Hera, it's always great to read stories about her being a cool rebel pilot and leader.

I'm not a huge fan of the show forces of destiny due to the poor quality of the animation and how the women are built up by making the men look like idiots. It really does look much better as comics. This comic was a fun Hera story and didn't really on the women tearing down men to be awesome, well they made one of the guys who wants to be a leader be a hot head with no character growth so a woman could be a leader, but the other guys were cool, but at least it wasn't all the men are idiots or hot heads. Please Marvel, give us a stand alone Hera comic series starting with her days during the clone wars and leading up to the novel A New Dawn. And also, one for how Sabine met and got recruited by Hera, that would be amazing. We need more Hera stories!

Hera and Chopper have an adventure! Of course a standard recruit the farmers of the Fekuda Outpost as food suppliers to the Rebellion becomes complicated when they find out the Empire got there two weeks ago! I liked that through Buck, Lemos, and Au B'Ree we see several ways people who aren't part of the Rebellion or aren't part of the Rebellion yet react to the Empire coming in and taking over. I love how Hera lays out her plan and that the Outpost workers are willing to listen to her. I really like Lemos, the mechanic that looks like an otter. It felt like watching an episode of Rebels!

This was better than the previous two issues. More in sync with the Rebels animated series.

This was definitely one of the best issues that IDW has ever put out. It didnt entirely seem like smit was for kids. In fact, it really felt like a Rebels episode. A very solid effort

Good Hera story, well illustrated. The character that was effectively a talking sea otter struck me as a bit odd though.

A fun, original story with wonderful art!
(and there was the added bonus that I got the variant cover from my local comic book shop).

Constantly on the run from the Empire, Hera does what she can for the Rebel cause. When she finds a factory base being devastated by Imperial control, Hera makes her way into the facility and brings justice for the poor, weary workers therein. Hera can't stand the pain the Empire brings upon others. After helping, the Rebellion may just have some new recruits, but some cannot leave their home planet, hoping the Rebellion will come back to ensure their freedom as the years pass.
