They’re feeling left out cuz Poe’s getting all the attention today…
…but he’s such a good friend, he feels their pain.
A comiXologist Recommends
POE DAMERON #1 by Charles Soule and Phil Noto (Marvel Comics)
“Watch this,” he says. It’s a promise and a dare and I can’t look away. He’s reckless and brave and he’s everything I want to be in my better moments, and he’s got his own story, and it’s here. I’m only on the first page, and I’m ready to follow Poe Dameron on every adventure. We’re gonna do this.
Poe Dameron #1 brings us back before the Force awakened, before Finn helped Poe complete his mission, to when General Organa first gave Poe the orders that would throw him in the path of the First Order like never before. The General wants to find her brother, Luke, before anyone else does, and it’s up to Poe to make it happen, no matter what. Poe quickly assembles a team and takes flight only to find that his mission is more dangerous than he could possibly have imagined.
Phil Noto’s art is gorgeous and Charles Soule’s writing is so on point it hurts. The Force is strong with this creative team, is what I’m saying. This first issue is cinematic and engaging and I can’t wait to read what this dream team has in store for us.
Not to be outdone, BB-8 stars in his own backup feature as a freewheeling matchmaker on the Resistance base! Will he make sparks fly, or only tempers? This story is too cute to miss!
