A disappointment after her excellent appearance in the Darth Vader books.

One of my new favorite characters in the Star Wars Universe! Glad to see she got her own series so we get more of her stories.

I got this out of the Hummelstown Library for me and Olivia-Grace.
This was certainly fun. Much more than the Obi-Wan & Anakin graphic novel. This had a lot more to it, and a lot more interesting stuff (Yavin 4, Ordu Aspectu, the Syndicate, etc.). Aphra is a lot more... 'evil' for evil sake in this
The Ordu Aspectu was interesting as an ancient - ancient - ancient sect of the Jedi. It was slightly confusing, but easy enough to get a general gist of them.
Theres definitely a lot more that they can do with the Ordu Aspectu which is cool, and the overall graphic novel was fun and lots to see and do, and I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
I hope the art style changes a bit. Not too big of this one, it was a little to Manga/Anime-ish for me. But it wasn't HORRIBLE, just not 100% top notch in my personal like/style.

though than even in the Vader series. Willing to do things against her dad and behind her dad's back, just for the sake of money. The Ordu Aspectu was interesting as an ancient - ancient - ancient sect of the Jedi. It was slightly confusing, but easy enough to get a general gist of them.

The first in the series focusing on Doctor Aphra and her not so merry men(well robots and a Wookie).
I have only ever read stories involving her in the main Star Wars books and she is a well-rounded, funny and a tight rope walker between evil and money and, actually that is about it. Triple 0, Bee
However, this first book is obviously the writers and artists finding their feet with the characters, there are superb elements and fine storytelling throughout but it has not hit its stride yet. I am most definitely going to stick with it until it does.
The Doctor is definitely in!

It's a fun adventure story starring some less than admiral characters. But that's what makes it Doctor Aphra, and not just Star Wars.

Kieron Gillen gets it.
Somehow, he can make characters that fit in the OT canon but also completely reinvigorate all the tropes that 40 years of Star Wars has mined to death.
Dr. Aphra is quite possibly the best thing to come from the new Disney canon and I say this even after absolutely loving the
