Star Wars Vol. 11: The Scourging Of Shu-Torun (Star Wars (2015-2019))

I absolutely love the last three years of Marvel's new Star Wars line. It is some of the best Star Wars comics that I've ever read, and I've read most of them.The main author's run is over, with this volume. I can only hope that the next person to take the book does as good a job.If you are new to Star Wars comics, here's what I suggest that you do. Don't start with Volume 1. Start with this storyline, and then go back and read the previous stuff, if you want. Start HERE:Volume 7: The Ashes of JedhaVolume 8: Mutiny at Mon CalaVolume 9: Hope DiesVolume 10: The EscapeVolume 11: The Scourging of Shu-TorunThis collection of five books tells a story that is akin to actually watching Star Wars movies. The books fill in what the heroes were doing in between A New Hope and Rogue One, and then, again, in between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.And, these aren't just unrelated stories. No. You will see the creation of Rogue Squadron. You will see where the Rebel Alliance got their Mon Calamari capital class starships. You will fight with Admiral Ackbar's homeworld and see how some worlds break from the Empire to support the Rebels.This is GREAT, FANTASTIC, blaster-firing, Millennium Falcon zipping, Han Solo quipping, lightsaber flashing, STAR WARS ACTION!And, you want to know who the focus is upon?Princess Leia.That's right! Princess Leia!Isn't it about time that she became a hero as big as Luke and Han? Well, she finally does, within these pages of this INCREDIBLE Star Wars run.Go read it. These aren't the droids that you are looking for. And, May the Force Be With You.

I choose my rating because the comic itself acts like an amazing short movie. Filled with tension and excitement and was really interesting to see the end. For fans who love reading comics and seeing the original trilogy characters.

This ongoing story continues. This is the eleventh volume and it sounds like theres only a few more to go before this series ends. So I guess I'll continue reading it. If you've seen any of my other reviews for this series, you'll know that I have been enjoying it less and less. Telling stories with the main trio during a set time frame is so limiting. Some great original characters were introduced, but the focus is still on characters we already know too well who can't have big emotional arcs.In this volume, Leia wants some revenge. Convenient revenge. The clawdite from earlier in the series is back to help. I really enjoyed that character so I was happy to see the shape shifter return. Two Tubes from Rogue One is also heavily featured. I like how this series has pretty consistently had tie-ins to minor characters.One of my favorite tropes is featured in the beginning of this volume: when a play is being put on about the events of the story within the story. Luc Swordswinger!This volume is essentially a heist story. It's self-contained, but still features characters from the ongoing story. I liked some character moments, but I am so ready for this series to be brought to a good conclusion. Let's get to Hoth! I give this volume a 3/5.

Really enjoyed this and how it ties the whole shu-Toruń side story together

Easy read, I flew through this volume. If you haven't picked it up and only collect trade paperbacks, I recommend!

Kinda boring. Most of these Star Wars are hit or miss

Plot line was good but I think they left a lot of fire out of the story line. Almost like they had to do this storyline and not wanted to.

This had all the elements of a great adventure story. There was a plan to take down the bad guys and some unexpected plot twist that led to some crazy things happening. An excellent story overall.

Feels like this series is now coming to close with this one. If you’re this far in you’re most likely going to get this, I just want to let you know that it’s more quality content 👍

stories hav gotten very poor with each graphic novel edition. dark horse still is and all ways will be the ultimate for me

Uma boa idéia, porém mal desenvolvida. Uma espécie de Rogue One, só que nem todos morrem no final.

Very happy

Gute Qualität
