Star Wars

I just read #StarWars TIE Fighter, after reading Alexander Fred’s Alphabet Squadron. It was a “cross event” marketing campaign by Marvel Comics and Del Rey, which I expected to fill some gaps regarding the book.

While Alphabet Squadron has an amazing story and it is such an amazing homage to X-Wing book series, TIE Fighter is quite dull and reminded me why I wasn’t reading mainstream comics anymore (by the way, if you want to read some Star Wars comics, go to Dark Horse titles instead of Marvel; they did know what they’re doing).

TIE Fighter has this story, it seems written with haste. It’s impossible to feel connected or to sympathize with any of its characters, which is a shame. And I’m really sad to say this, but it has also an inconstant art, ranging from beautiful covers to low budget comic book publishers.

It's clearly not as full as the novel, with all its intricacies and such, but for a quick Thrawn fix, this one's great!
