A CALL TO ADVENTURE ON THE VERY EDGE OF THE GALAXY! THE COMIC TIE-IN TO THE THEME PARK! BLACK SPIRE OUTPOST has long been frequented by smugglers, merchants and travelers from every corner of the galaxy looking to make their score on the infamous black market – or experience the exotic thrills only the remote world of Batuu has to offer. Beings like the infamous DOK-ONDAR, a proprietor of rare and one-of-a-kind antiquities, thrive on the unique opportunities which abound on the lawless outpost at the very edge of Wild Space! But the evil FIRST ORDER has come to Batuu and the survival of the entire outpost is at stake! The road to Black Spire's possible salvation might begin in the past...with a job HAN SOLO and his partner CHEWBACCA pulled for Dok-Ondar. The newest chapter of the growing Star Wars saga begins this April with ETHAN SACKS (OLD MAN HAWKEYE) AND WILL SLINEY'S (BEN REILLY: SCARLET SPIDER, SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY) GALAXY'S EDGE – the riveting comic adventure tie-in to the theme park.
Ethan Sacks is a writer and journalist from New York, who is currently writing the ongoing series Star Wars- Bounty Hunters for Marvel as well as other various Star Wars titles. He is also know for his Marvel works that take place in the iconic Old Man Logan wasteland, Old Man Hawkeye and Old Man Quill.
The answer to the question we never wondered: what do baby sarlaccs look like?
This was a fun Han and Chewie adventure told in flashback. I enjoyed it. That said, for a miniseries named after the new theme parks, I expected more of the story to actually take place in Black Spire Outpost.
I'm a bit confused about the timeline. We see First Order troopers at the beginning, so I guess this is sequel trilogy era but with a flashback showing Han and Chewie probably shortly prior to the OT? The baby sarlacc story was actually more boring than fun. Kinda curious about the weapon to which the characters allude though.
The beginning of the Galaxy's Edge storyline. In this issue we get a story of Han Solo during one of his smuggling runs. The artwork is decent but the story itself was kind of boring. I would have gave it two stars but it earned another one because we got to see a baby Sarlacc.
