Not a fan of this "remastered" Dr. Aphra.....this was terrible compared to previous volumes. Weak story with stupid characters.
I really don't understand all the negative reviews here. This was the best Aphra story yet and could easily be made into a blockbuster movie. I love the character--bad, but not evil (at least trying not to be), out for herself (often at the expense of those around her), but with just enough good touches to fully humanize her. I like the ongoing flirtation with the Imperial captain Tolvan, which leads to something more this time around. And the primary heist of Imperial information is handled jus...
2.5 Stars.Aphra continues her drifting through the galaxy, now as a servant of Triple-Zero, the sadistic Threepio-esque protocol droid of Vader's. She continues to cross paths, with Magna Tolvan (who is actually a much more interesting character to me) who she also begins a relationship of sorts with. Add in the ability to use a certain small creature as a bomb, activated with the code words "Snugglebum Oogiewoogie", an adventure helping Hera Syndulla, and creating all her usual double-crossing
*4.5Oh... wow. Aphra is swiftly growing on me.Also, my goodness, you can't casually use that character in a cameo and expect me not to be distracted for the rest of the book!More on that in a bit.This whole book is a very packed story. It has a large introduction of some new characters, and they were surprisingly fun. The storyline itself is pretty tangled and it can get a little confusing at times but, honestly, that's how the Aphra comics go, and this kind of slightly-comedic, rushed, fun stor...
The artwork here was great!The story? Not so much!
Finally catching up on Doctor Aphra. This is one is *very* dark. Comedy evil droids turn into actually evil droids and things do not go that well for our heroine. Except she gets to flirt with a hot cyber woman Imperial. Which is BRILLIANT! It's so nice to see queer relationships in Star Wars. Even if they are technically bad people. They are also terribly interesting and complex and much more so than any of the characters in the films. So I love it! Going to start vol. 4 this evening.
This was weird. It just didnt hit any of the same fun highs as Vol 1 and 2. Yes the writer was a duo for some of the issues and the final issue it was taken over but I felt the actual story was just really quite dull and convoluted. However the art was probably the best I've seen so far.
Every Aphra comic has gotten steadily worse to the point she’s firmly the Deadpool of Star Wars. I now wish she’d died in that Vader comic.
"MEH"
Doctor Aphra was an interesting idea for a character, and for a few issues of the Vader graphic novel series, she was a lot of fun. But she's now become one of the worst Star Wars characters. The concept of an archaeologist in Star Wars has fantastic potential, but Aphra is not an archaeologist; she's just a juvenile, snide, bland character, and in her own series she is surrounded by other juvenile, snide, bland characters.
A fun heist story with some romance thrown in. It's about time some LGBTQ+ characters made it into the Star Wars universe. Aphra and an Imperial Captain have a nice game of flirtatious cat and mouse while Aphra is forced to go after Triple Zero's memories. It's fun to see the tables turned on Aphra by Triple Zero and BeeTee as well. The art and coloring by Emilio Laiso and Rachelle Rosenberg were fantastic.
Another fantastic volume of Doctor Aphra. While not as much Triple Zero and BT-1 that I would prefer, Aphra has a new group or equally interesting mercs at her disposal.
If you have not reading this series I feel bad for you. Doctor Aphra is trying to survive in a universe that has it out for her. From her former partners, love interests and Rebel General Hera !!!!
Doctor Aphra is back for yet another round of mischief. I know I keep saying this, but I really do love her character. I hope she manages to continue popping up for a while yet, her stories have been some of the most fun ones yet. (view spoiler)[ Where the other two volumes of Aphra had been fun and flighty, this volume has a slightly heavier tone to it. It’s still a fantastic read, but there’s some dark implications happening. On the bright side they stop dancing around the most obvious secret
This was SO. MUCH. FUN. Apparently this story arc was quite divisive, but I absolutely LOVED it from start to finish. Kieron Gillen and Simon Spurrier cowrite this volume, and I don't know who wrote exactly what bits, but all of my concerns about the new writer changing the tone of the book or the departure of Triple Zero and Beetee were completely alleviated in this volume. Triple Zero and Beetee still factor into the story of Doctor Aphra in a big way, but I don't want to spoil how they are in...
What in the ever living hell has happened to Star Wars? Remastered is a total travesty. A complete failure, and puts a black mark on Star Wars from which it will never recover. In all seriousness though, Remastered is flat out bad. I’m not talking like “so bad it’s good” bad or, “well, it’s definitely not the best” kind of bad. No, I’m talking bad as in awful. Bad as in bottom of the garbage can. Bad as in easily one the worst comics I have ever read and hands down the absolute worst of any Star...
I still maintain that Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars mythology in recent years, but this volume confirms my fear about the character--she cannot solely carry her own title. This installment tries to spice things up a bit by making Doctor Aphra beholden to Triple-Zero, the murderous entity in the guise of a protocol droid. Triple-Zero sends Aphra on a series of missions in which she must lead a group of mercenaries. There are some interesting asides as Aphra dev...
I’ve loved Doctor Aphra every step of the way and I’m so glad that they’ve given us this series. It does a lot of great things, especially in terms of adding diversity to the Star Wars canon. Unfortunately this volume wasn’t as raving of a success as the previous two. The concept was kind of standard (form a crew and steal something from the Empire) which is fine but it wasn’t well executed. I think the main problem was that there were too many new characters introduced at one time and that made...
Doctor Aphra is a series that I dug a lot when it first started; unfortunately, the longer it’s gone on, the more I’ve found its shine to be steadily wearing off, to the point that I now find myself myself continuing to read it more out of habit than any real interest or excitement in seeing where it’s going. I think part of my problem with the series is with Aphra herself: I’ve never really found her to be a particularly enjoyable or interesting character, and her quirky cynicism, while amusing...
Actual rating is 2.5 stars.This is a collection that continues the story of Doctor Aphra. In this one, the tables have been turned as the murder droids are now in charge.I am going exactly in the middle for my rating because that is how I felt about this collection. There were things that I really enjoyed and things that aggravated me. The inclusion of a beloved character from a television series. I am on board and I loved it. Assemble a team that reminded me of a Suicide Squad where I get very
