This comic follows Poe in his search for Lor San Tekka, in the lead-up to The Force Awakens. This volume kind of went into the weeds a bit, as Poe squared off against his nemesis for this comic storyline, a dude named Terex. We get a lot of Terex's backstory, which is fine because he's a jerk and his backstory pays off with a couple of other Resistance storylines. It does mean that he's 100% alive, though, despite how the comic ends. ;)
ANYWAY
Kind of a quiet read. Poe is worried there's a spy in Black Squadron, but that doesn't really factor into the story much in terms of Poe's development. Threepio gets to be hilarious, which is Threepio at his best. There's a return of an old character that I was VERY PLEASED with (I found out about it in a freight elevator in New York in 2016, so it was a nice payoff!). Mostly, this serves to set up Volume 3, which is already out, so that's handy. Mine should be here this week, and it's going on the December reading list.
