[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6801623, member: 92305"] I've been checking out the new Star Wars lines from Marvel, and I'm quite impressed! Not only are these new books (I read the trades) drawn well, the writing is top notch. Each trade is like watching a new Star Wars movie. The main Star Wars book is excellent, but I think I'm more drawn to the Darth Vader book, which takes place simultaneously with the main book. It's neat to read about an event in the main series, then see the same story from the other side in Vader's book. Man, there's this new character in the Vader series. Aphra. She's a cute little thing, with a damn cute personality. And, she's a flat out sociopath. She's got no real grasp of right and wrong. Which is why she survives working with Vader. That, and she's real smart. In the most recent book, Volume 2 - Shadows And Secrets, Vader turned on her and started to choke her to death. I couldn't believe it! I actually felt sorry for Aphra! This comic book engaged me emotionally! I'm so charmed by Aphra. What a well written character! She's so damn charming....and then you are brought back to earth with how bloody she can be getting her task accomplished. No, she's not blood thirsty. It's just that anything goes when it comes to completing her job. In that way, she kinda reminds me of the changeling assassin in Attack of the Clones that Jango Fett hired to take out Senator Amidalla. "It's just a job," that changeling said, as if that justifies and legitimizes cold blooded murder. Aphra is a wiz with electronics, machinery, starships, and droids. She's got this re-programmed 3PO unit where most of the protocol programming has been replaced with torture techniques. The damn droid is humorous as hell. But, it, too, is quite sobering when he is let loose on "patient". The book definitely has a more "adult" feel, like the new film. And, I'm digging it...A LOT.
