Star Wars: Han Solo by Marjorie Liu and Mark Brooks
A five issue mini-series which is a lot of fun.
I love the artwork by Mark Brooks.
The plot by Marjorie Liu is fast paced. Princess Leia enlists Han Solo's help to pick up some rebel informants and spies from under the noses of the Empire. His cover is to enter as a pilot in the prestigious Dragon Void race.
It's a race that not many survive!
Before you can say 'I have a bad feeling about this', Han has agreed and off he goes with Chewbacca in the Millennium Falcon.
Why is a race he may not survive the best cover for this mission? No one knows 🤣. It's probably best not to question the logic of anything that happens in this book.
The race scenes look fantastic but don't try and work out where the 'track' is as we don't need to know that in the story. And the main reason it's dangerous appears to be that the Empire keeps shooting at everyone and trying to stop the race, although we're told they don't usually interfere so I'm not sure why the racers don't usually survive.
Ok, so a lot of the story makes no sense 🤣. But that doesn't stop it being a fun and entertaining book.
There's a couple of nice scenes between Han & Leia, Wookie action, race action, intrigue with the spies and knowing one is a traitor, and a great alien character who is the last of her species and a veteran of the Dragon Void race.
How will Han Solo survive the race and find out who the murderous traitor to the rebels is?
Fly fast and ask the informants if they are a traitor perhaps? No, it's going to be more complicated than that Han. Isn't it? Well....
I had a lot of fun while reading it and there is more going on than what I've said but don't spoil your enjoyment by analysing the plot.
It looks great, it's fun and it's Han Solo.
