Doctor Aphra #3


Star Wars: Doctor Aphra (2016-) #3

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Issue #3 is one of the Star Wars titles I read, along with Star Wars, Star Wars: Darth Vader, and Star Wars: Poe Dameron.  Of the four, it's the one I'm least interested in.  A spinoff of Star Wars: Darth Vader, it is the story of Doctor Aphra, the rogue archaeologist.  Along with Triple-Zero, the murderous protocol droid; Krrsantan, the murderous Wookie; and Beetee, the murderous R2-style droid, she is in search of a forgotten tribe on a small moon riddled with Imperial forces.

I have gotten used to the four new characters that make up the cast of Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, but I don't have a deep feeling for any of them yet.  Dr. Chelli Lona Aphra is kinda' cute, I guess, but so far Kieron Gillen hasn't captured the subtle humor of Star Wars the way Charles Soule, Chuck Wendig, and especially Jason Aaron have.  I mean, it is funny at times, like how murderous Triple-Zero and Beetee are, but it just doesn't have the same feel.
