Star Wars: Poe Dameron, Issue #10 begins right after Poe Dameron takes a blaster bolt to the chest in Issue #9. Of course, it is only a stun blast, but he, mechanic Oddy Muva, C-3PO, and BB-8 are captured by the Ranc Gang, led by the very droid they're there to find. Meanwhile, Agent Terex and his gang of First Order baddies are joined by Agent Terex's special group of aliens. Their goal? To capture the entire Resistance. But first, a flashback to 27 years earlier, when Terex takes control of Grand Moff Tarkin's former flagship, the Carrion Spike.
Poe Dameron is classic Star Wars fiction. I'm reminded fondly of 1994, when I first began reading Timothy Zahn's Empire trilogy. See, good media tie-in fiction is a force multiplier. From Timothy Zahn, I moved on to Kevin J. Anderson to every Star Wars novel that came out. I haven't kept up with them, but Jason Aaron's Star Wars comic brought me back into the fold. Charles Soule's been one of my favorite writers for some time, so I picked up this title, then Darth Vader, then Doctor Aphra.
