Star Wars #1
Writer: Jason Aaron
Artist: John Cassaday
I wrote this short review a while back and it never got posted. Enjoy my callback to the debut of Marvel's Star Wars line!
After years of great treatment at Dark Horse, Star Wars has returned to Marvel. Being the highest selling comic in 20 years with an all-star creative team, this issue had a lot to live up to. And boy, does it deliver. Jason Aaron has an excellent handle on the Star Wars universe and characters, evoking the adventurous tone that made you fall in love with the franchise in the first place. When Jason Aaron is on point, he knocks it out of the park and this issue accentuates what I love so much about him. Snappy one liners that speak with the character’s voices and a thrilling plot make me feel like I'm reading a Star Wars movie. The art also is quite strong despite being outshone by the writing. Cassaday draws an incredible Han Solo but when it comes to other characters such as Leia and Chewbacca, his art isn’t as refined. Overall, this is an issue that NO Star Wars fan should pass up on. Marvel aren't holding back and this is just the beginning.
