comic reviews
Written By Josh Allen

Hello there! Padawan J here, the resident Star Wars expert from the ODPH! This week I'm going to be reviewing the 10th issue of the mainline Star Wars comic series from Marvel Comics!

The explosive conclusion to the battle between our heroes and the Fenril Consortium is here! Just how are they going to survive it! Let’s jump into it!

Credit: Marvel Comics // Star Wars #10 by Alex Segura (Writer), Luke Ross (Artist), Chris Sotomayor (Color Artist) VC’s Clayton Cowles (Letterer) & Phil Noto (Cover) is an action packed conclusion to the story that is sure to delight fans.

*** POSSIBLE SPOILER WARNING ***

The Story

Action is the main course in this issue again, and it really felt like a classic Star Wars story that you grew up reading from one of the novels or the older comics. From the moment everything kicks off it’s going at a breakneck pace and ends on a very satisfying note by the end.

The story really felt like the ending of Return of the Jedi and it works so well. It has a chaotic feel to it but one that feels so classic to Star Wars storytelling. Ultimately the issue wraps everything up nicely and leaves it open ended. We obviously know where things end up in the overall story, but the future of the mainline Star Wars comic is not known right now as this is written. So where things go from here is anybody’s guess.

The Artwork

Luke Ross really did a tremendous job with the art in this issue. He does such a great job bringing the likeness of Luke, Han & Leia to life in comicbook form. The action sequences were out of this world with how good they were. Together with the stellar job that Chris Sotomayor did on color, the artwork really shines in this issue.

FINAL POINT: It’s an action packed conclusion to the story that feels like a classic Star Wars comic. Together with artwork that is simply stunning, this is an issue that is sure to delight fans of the series.

Overall Grade: 7/10
