STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA #4, available Wednesday from Marvel Comics, is bringing Doctor Aphra’s adventures back into the forefront, and that means she’s got another bad scheme or two in mind.
Doctor Aphra’s first series ended in a moment that almost seemed to redeem her character. She made bold moves and decisions – but for once, she was sincerely doing it for the greater good. As opposed to, you know, trying to land a big score.
Now she has a new series, and it’s become clear that the Aphra we all know and love hasn’t changed all that much. She’s still coming up with schemes and heists, though one would like to believe that she has a made room in her heart for more compassion.
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #4 continues her latest series of adventures, as she works alongside a team that is already fracturing. Apparently, even her first reappearance in the field isn’t enough to protect her from bad teammates and backstabbing.

A definite dip in quality this month as we seem to be essentially spinning wheels as we move from one plot point to the next.
The art is still lovely be the writing is lacking some of the zing I'd usually expect from this title. Hopefully things will pick up again next time.

I wish we could have more like the 2016 Dr. Aphra. The stories and artwork are not up to snuff.

There was another hint of The High Republic in this, but not a whole lot else to rave about.

Nothing much seemed to happen as it seems we’re moving toward a finale. But very much a filler issue.

Kind of a holding pattern for this issue waiting for the trap to snap in Canto Bight.
