SPOILER REVIEW: Marvel's Star Wars #4

I'm actually really enjoying the interplay between Vader and Jabba. This issue was one of the strongest so far, in my opinion.

 

I'm constantly amazed at how much can Vader's 'face expression' can say even though it's under the mask. Love the art so far - both in DV series and SW. Except some minor issues it's been pretty great. I like how DV series' art is more movielike and SW feels like a classic comic book.

SW #4 was very cool, although I was hoping to see what's hidden in Obi-Wan's hut as it was a cliffahanger in #3, waiting whole another month is painful. Don't think the new bounty hunter was in any way connected to Kylo Ren, possibly just an easter egg. Just like the alien from 'Force For Change' video in #1

 

I just uploaded the audio comic book for this. I also think it was the strongest of the Skywalker Strikes comics. The lack of battle scenes and the consequent increase in dialogue made my throat sore though

 

Some may say that not a whole lot truly happened in this one. While perhaps it was a bit "fluffy" ... I loved it. There was some really great setup for the next several issues. I'm definitely hoping that Vader and Luke don't run into each other on Tatooine. I was okay with their interaction at the beginning of the series and don't think it really diminishes anything in regards to their ESB encounter. However ... doing it too many times could.

 

I also don't want to see too many Vader/Luke encounters.
In this issue Luke seems to have learnt his lesson from his previous attempt to fight Vader, and won't be trying that again anytime soon. The story seems to be leading up to at least a near encounter between the two on Tatooine... hopefully Luke will be smart enough to keep his distance from Vader.

 

I agree. The artist and author really kniw how to make up for an ability to use facial expressions by combining a well-placed bit of dialogue and then well drawn "body language".

 

When the hell did a Boba Fett start talking in third person? Seriously a perfect issue until that point. I laughed out loud as I read it. Just ridiculous.

 

I don't know if anyone is interested in this or not but here it is if you are.
