This exceeded all expectations, in spite of the story being a tiny bit contrived.
Trade paperback collection of a limited series. Taking place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, this has Han recruited by Leia to infiltrate a high-stakes spacecraft race while smuggling several rebel spies, at least one of whom may be a traitor.
What made this great were the original characters introduced for this series, something that can often be a weak spot in these adaptations. In this case the supporting cast was excellent, especially the mysterious space-racing veteran Loo Re Anno, who absolutely steals the show. Several other rival racers are fun characters, and there's also some good interactions with the various rebel spies and operatives that Han encounters.
There's good consistent character development for Han, as well. Nothing shocking, but a lot of little insights in his internal monologue that runs through much of the story.
Chewie and Leia get good moments as well, and the artwork is excellent, with some clever page layouts especially in some of the racing sequences.
This is a fun adventure perfectly suited to Han's character.

Wow, this was amazing. The art was beautiful, and seeing Han’s innermost thoughts was fantastic. Also, Loo Re Anno is probably my favourite random side character now!

Oh I liked this. I’m usually not a fan of Han stories but this one was great!

Better than most of what Disney's churned out. Best Star Wars comic I've read from the new Marvel takeover. It truly was too short.

Han has to survive (and win) the Dragon Void race--the most notorious race in the galaxy.
