Publisher summary:
HOT ON THE TRAIL OF THE FALCON! HAN SOLO and CHEWBACCA continue their search for the Falcon and face RAPTOR DROIDS along the way! DUCAIN is in for a beating when Han and Chewie find him! And how are the IRVING BOYS wrapped up in this intergalactic chase?!
Marvel Comics
Why it matters: Han Solo has hit a rough point in his life, where he is chasing the past. Of course, he is after the Falcon, but that is not all.
Key moments:
Dealing with Ducain: Han and Chewie raid the warehouse on Oskatoon, but instead of finding their ship, they are left with the criminal Ducain.
Memories of the Past: While yearning for his ship, Han looks back on fond memories of being together with Ben and Leia in the cockpit.
High Stakes Game: Although Han originally won the Falcon in a game of sabacc, it wouldn’t be so simple this time when he goes against the Irving Brothers.
Marvel Comics
The big picture: This is a great exploration of Han at this point in his life. He is yearning to reclaim the Falcon, but that isn’t all. Nearly all of his dialogue in the front half of the issue can be projected on his relationship with his family. It is capped off with a touching flashback of Ben and Leia, at a simpler time in their life. As sweet as it is, Han and Chewie are still bound for trouble and end up in a firefight. Having gotten no closer to the Falcon, we have gotten closer to understanding Han’s character at this point in his life.
Our rating: Incredible
