Finished another comic series with Olivia-Grace. She really enjoyed these Star Wars comics (especially the Vader ones). There was some good and some bad/dumb (Commander Karbin) in this series. Definitely picked up from the previous issues, and looks like the next arc will be fun. Hoping the library will have the next series for Olivia-Grace (and me). ( )

This library bound edition of the last issue of the “Vader Down” storyline neatly wraps up a variety of inter-connected plotlines, but without the rest of the crossover the result feels unsatisfying and even baffling at times. Is that a Wookiee? What’s happened to our favorite droids? Where is this planet anyway? Who’s the squid? Only buy if you also have the rest of the Vader Down series, or, better yet, buy the trade paperback where Star Wars is popular. ( )
