No começo desse quadrinho acompanhamos Han Solo e Chewbacca logo depois que eles deixaram a Aliança Rebelde após os eventos do Episódio IV. Apesar de achar que abandonar a Aliança é o que ele deveria fazer, Han Solo não se sente bem com isso e resolve voltar quando a Aliança precisa dele.

O que está acontecendo na história é que Han Solo vai recuperar alguns espiões comprometidos da Aliança sob o pretexto de participar da maior corrida da galáxia, a Dragon Void. Mas o que está acontecendo de verdade, é que Han Solo começa a perceber que existem, sim, causas que valem a pena, e que pertencer a um grupo é melhor do que ser sozinho. Tais lições ele aprende com Loo Re Anno, corredora lendária e última de sua espécie, que não tem outro objetivo de vida a não ser a corrida.

As "testemunhas" de Loo Re Anno claramente veem semelhanças entre sua mestra e Han Solo, fazendo-o vê-las também e temer por um futuro solitário e com somente um propósito nem tão nobre assim.

O resultado da corrida é catalisador da mudança do comportamento autocentrado de Han Solo, e as atitudes de Loo Re Anno o fazem pensar em como ele é um ser social que precisa de um grupo, e que o sentimento de pertencimento pode valer mais do que dinheiro/fama/ego.

This book, that I borrowed from the library, was a little disappointing. I had hoped that it would be better than it was, but it really wasn't. I just couldn't get into the story and although it concluded well, it took too long to get there. The one redeeming factor was the artwork. It was well drawn, but that wasn't enough to make me enjoy it in the way I thought I might. There are some other books in this Marvel series, but I'm not sure that I want to check them out after this one. If the library has any of them I might give them a go anyway.

A fast-paced Han Solo space-racing adventure. The art is great and Han Solo is about as Solo-ish as we like him. A short, simple story that does some nice world-building to the new canon.

A near perfect Han Solo story - not too complicated, just enough intrigue to keep the reader hooked, and a racing vibe that permeates the whole thing. Well-illustrated, and definitely a read for all ages of Star Wars fans. Today's lunchtime read for me.

This was great - the character voices, the art, the plot, the Han&Leia being So Much moments. I loved it.

Enjoyable, but kind of bland. Book two of my personal #OWLsreadathon2018 down!

I'm on a Han Solo kick, preparing for the film in a few months. This series is light and fun and classic Han. Enjoyed the racing elements, and watching him struggle a little more with his decision between being out for himself, and working for the rebellion.
