Book #102: Star Wars: Poe Dameron's Flight Log

This is a Middle Grade, in the style of Rey's Survival Guide (which was amazing and made me cry more than once), except I didn't like this one as much. It was more a straight up summary of the movie and the comic (which I hadn't read yet, so I also accidentally spoiled myself!). Much as it pains me, you can probably just skip this one.

(There is a glorious section where he repeatedly laments having lost his jacket, but still.)

I hope the Finn one (in the mail, arriving at some point) is better.

Book #103: Poe Dameron vol 1 Black Squadron

This comic is so good.

First of all: Poe, Jess, and Karé are NOT drawn with lighter skin AT ALL. Second, Jess and Karé get a TONNE of screen time (both independently AND as part of the team). So I was super happy on that front.

Also, the writing mirror's Oscar Isaac's actual delivery and cadence of speech, which is great.

Also, BB-8 has, like, a whole action sequence at one point, and it's BEAUTIFUL.

Also, despite having accidentally spoiled myself reading the Flight Log, the comic was really good. I enjoyed it immensely. It was gorgeously drawn and coloured, and the story was top notch. I hope they keep doing it (even though waiting a year for the volume in the first place r.o.u.g.h.).

ALSO, the scenes with Leia and Poe were AWESOME. Leia was also drawn fabulously, and I live for their relationship at this point. It's just awesome.

10/10 would recommend. (especially if you, like me, watched Rogue One and need something to warm your soul.)
