Fun side story in Solo's lore
A nice side story that shows Solo is arguably the best star pilot in the galaxy. Worth the read for sure.

The first star wars comic i’ve read and it was a solid read, i’ve read some of the books set in the old republic but this was my first set around the same time of the original trilogy. I see this as a gateway comic and can’t wait to see where else it takes me. I am looking forward to reading more.

For some reason or another all the comics set in the Star Wars universe that do not feature force users have been uninteresting at best.
I am not the biggest Han Solo fan. But in the ongoing series he is a fun character. Here he is a smuggler that doesn't smuggle, overthinks way too much and shows a lot more feelings than the character we have grown to like.
Then there is the story. About some race that only the best of the best can enter (would make a great crossover with young Anakin) but 3 pages in and only 4 ships are still in it. there are so many things wrong with it that I have to stop myself from giving spoilers.
Only the art saves it. It looks amazing. every ship looks like it was made by a certain race or another. Iconic ships look Iconic. Motion is captured. Space feels like space and not just flying in the sky.
But like Obi Wan and Anakin before it, it gives us fragments of bigger, more interesting parts of the universe and then insists on us paying attention to insignificant, inner drama.
