STAR WARS: POE DAMERON VOL. 4 - LEGEND FOUND

Good price for this graphic novel I was missing from a set

Another great volume, very sad that this is the second to last TBP. Charles Soule has done an excellent job with Poe, way better than Rian Johnson did in The Last Jedi.

Continues to be a great comic. My only gripe is the way this trade paperback is organized. First you read through issues 20-25, and then you read the Annual. That's fine, but the comic that comes after the Annual is.....issue 16. That one is published in Volume 3. The surprise at the end of the Annual is ruined because I'm already 10 issues ahead of it! Poor planning, excellent comic!

Really bolsters the characters and adds some meaning to the sequel trilogy films.

I just really loved all the characters it is just great, fantastic, and wonderful. Thumbs Up!!

Finally getting better

The fourth volume in the “Poe Dameron” series, which details the early conflict between the (still fledging) Resistance and First Order forces, really starts to line things up with the opening act of “The Force Awakens” in this issue – specifically, the search to find Lor San Tekka, an intergalactic explorer who may have clues to finding the location of Luke Skywalker.Played by Max von Sydow in the movie, we’re introduced to him here breaking into a high security vault in order to study an ancient Jedi artefact. When he’s arrested for his crime, it’s up to General Leia, Poe Dameron and the rest of Black Squadron to pull off a daring long-con to rescue him.They’re got all the pieces in place: the lie, the misdirection, the inside man, but the return of the cunning Agent Terex throws a spanner in the works of their ingenious plan. It’s easily the best of the “Poe Dameron” comics so far, with plenty of witty dialogue and clever plot twists, as well as an awareness of the wider franchise’s continuity – from the vaults being owned by the Neimodian species to Leia using her mother’s gowns as a front to enter the facility.The comics on the whole provide a better understanding of the Resistance and First Order in a way the films have not, such as pointing out that the Resistance is much smaller than the original Rebellion, and that Leia has found it difficult to warn the rest of the galaxy of the threat the First Order poses.And naturally the members of Black Squadron are explored in more detail too, from Jessika Pava’s unlucky streak with astromech droids to Snap Wexley’s romance with a fellow pilot. It’s not essential reading to understand the events of the film trilogy, but it certainly enriches the experience.And the artwork is wonderful: Leia in particular is beautifully rendered, with all of Carrie Fisher’s mannerisms and facial expressions. I’m also fond of original characters like Suralina, an alien who looks like a mix of a fish, vampire and elf. It’s a shame she’s not in the movies, because her design is gorgeous.Last of all, the comics even provide foreshadowing for future events – such as Poe’s tendency to ignore orders and make impulsive decisions, a trait that certainly plays a role in “The Last Jedi.” With only one more volume to go, I’ll be sad to see this series end.

Lor San Tekka finally appears! Leia also takes a prominent spot in this volume. I loved seeing her talking about her birth mother. Ivee the astromech was probably my favorite character in this volume.I'm really enjoying this ongoing comic series following Poe Dameron and the Black Squadron. The story is gradually getting closer to The Force Awakens. I give this volume a 4/5.

Le Guerre Stellari ci accompagnano da quasi 50 anni. Tra trilogie e spin-off cinematografici, televisivi e a cartoni i fan di questa galassia lontana lontana hanno avuto di che divertirsi. Qui abbiamo una delle innumerevoli storie a fumetti che soprattutto negli ultimi 2 decenni (sfruttando anche il dipanarsi della trama principale cinematografica) hanno dato origine a innumerevoli trame e sottotrame, sviscerando anche personaggi minori, "riempendo" buchi nel racconto (cosa e' successo tra l'uno e l'altro film ?). A suo tempo in Italia era uscita una collana in grande formato che traduceva una parte di questi fumetti. Se l'argomento vi appassiona potete (ri)leggerli in originale in formato kindle in offerta.

Great Book.Takes place before the events of the force awakens.

One of the best Star Wars series so far

Arrivato in perfette condizioni nonostante il pacco mezzo distrutto. Per un amante di Star Wars (e di Poe💓) questi fumetti sono d'obbligo.
