Star Wars Vol. 7: The Ashes of Jedha by

adventurous emotional informative reflective tense fast-paced

3.0

The story wasn’t bad, but they made it look like Luke knew everything that happened in Rogue One. I like that we got a glimpse at Jedha after, but there was a bit too much information already known in my opinion. At best, Luke would’ve heard secondhand stories from those who overheard the communications from Scarif, or from Leia who only knew some of the details. Not enough for Luke to say some of the things he did in this comic.

The whole Scar Squadron storyline is also very much stop and go. They’re a threat, then get sidelined for the bigger story. If they’re going to be proper villains, can we at least get a good run with them? I don’t love them (mostly on account that they’re Bad Batch knockoffs) but it bothers me even more to see them pop in as the supposedly all powerful unit, only to disappear again the next issue…

And the art is… well it’s Larroca so I wish I could ignore it because the faces are absolutely awful.
