Star Wars: Poe Dameron, Issue #3 is the story of Poe Dameron's Black Squadron looking for Lor San Tekka, 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi and just before the events of The Force Awakens. Poe Dameron is trapped in the Cave of the Creche with Agent Terex of the First Order, where the two are playing a game of chicken. The people of the Cave are guarding an egg that holds the savior of the galaxy, and Terex is trying to get Dameron to talk by having his stormtroopers roast the egg with flamethrowers. Then something interesting happens...
There's a Wizard of Oz reference about halfway into the issue that I liked, particularly because there was one in A New Hope. Charles Soule really knows his stuff, and more importantly, he comes across as a Star Wars fan. J.J. Abrams never struck me as a Star Wars or especially not a Star Trek fan. With references to not only the Star Wars Universe but the Star Wars Extended Universe (novels, comics, and the like), Soule, who I liked a lot to begin with, has shown a new side to his work, one I really like.
