This is an old fashioned, rip-roaring grand adventure, staring the charming and ever so cocky resistance pilot, Poe Dameron. Taking place before the events of Episode 7, Poe is sent on a mission by General Leia Organa to find Lor San Tekka who just might know where Luke Skywalker is. With the help of BB-8 and the members of Black Squadron, Poe travels from place to place, with First Order Agent Terex showing up on the same mission.
Vol. 1 has action, mystery, dogfights, humor, and no Jedi (but then again, I thought the absence of the "force" in Rogue One and Solo was wonderful and refreshing in the Star Wars universe). It's just a bunch of average pilots of the resistance (even if one is a great pilot) trying to take on the forces of evil. I enjoyed it. ( )

Great action - interesting mystery.

The trick with the backstory material in these large franchise universes (Star Wars and Star Trek) is building off the canon material and filling in the details, without painting yourself into a corner that will be made obsolete by the next movie. This does the trick well - known characters and alien races, merged with a goal (find the Lor San Tekka seen in the Force Awakens). It's sort of a tease, but the story, the action, the charactes all worked together here for an enjoyable story. ( )

Enjoy! ( )

I look forward to this comic every month. Poe Dameron is a great action hero and I love how adventurous the comic is while giving more insights to the character. Terex is a great villain with fun dynamic with Poe. Part of me is hoping for a Finn cameo, where he is some trooper in the background. ( )

Poe Dameron gets his own adventures, backed up by Black Squadron, including Temmin 'Snap' Wexley from the Star Wars Aftermath series.
It's good fun, exciting, action packed with characters you're interested in, and of course it has BB-8.
Onto Vol. 2. ( )
