This continues to be my favorite ongoing Star Wars comic series. I absolutely adore that a lesbian hate-love romance is at the center of an ongoing Star Wars series. Representation absolutely matters. Doctor Aphra is such an interestingly complex character. This volume, especially, showcases the gray morality of the universe. No one thinks of themselves as evil in their own head. In this volume we get to see a little bit more about Aphra's past. We learn more about both of her parents. Aphra com...

“Doctor Aphra” is, hands down, one of my favorite new comic book series, which isn’t really saying a lot since I don’t read a lot of new comic books, but it’s definitely become a favorite.In Volume 6, “Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon”, Doctor Aphra: has flashbacks about her mom, who taught her a lot of stuff; finds the Farkiller of Oo’ob the Apostate, an ancient Jedi weapon that the Rebel Alliance could really use to put an end to the Empire; reunites with the vicious Wookiee, Black Krrsantan, whi...

Some fun bits, but overall felt too familiar. The multiple betrayals and *gasp* possible super weapon would have been intriguing. The flashbacks were nice at first but became tedious when their parallels were thrown in your face over and over. Didn’t care for the artwork in the first two issues, which made Aphra look like a teenager.

The series is getting a little too much like the iocane powder scene in Princess Bride with each side trying to out think the other.We do get to finally see some of Aphra's past with her mother, but it was all kind of blah. The book is plagued with too many artists, all of which were bland, keeping a house Star Wars style. While I still really like the character of Dr. Aphra, you can definitely tell the current series is winding down.

0-1 ABYThis graphic novel is Volume 6 of the initial Doctor Aphra series and contains Doctor Aphra issues 32-36 "Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon" Parts 1-5. Previously, Aphra has a number of bounty hunters on her tail. She currently aims to lay low and avoid the chaos that seems to follow her everywhere. In this collection, the reader gets a bit of a glimpse at Aphra's past as she muses on what to do when there are so many targets on her back. Of course, there is yet another priceless artifact tha...

The most devious woman in the galaxy, Doctor Aphra, is back, and she’s got both side of the Galactic Civil War gunning for her in the sixth volume of one of the best Star Wars series out there. I have been meaning to review this volume since it first came out in December. However, I just picked up the seventh and final volume of the current run of Doctor Aphra, so I thought I would quickly review this volume first before I get around to that. In Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon, Aphra is up to her

We get towards the end of the original Dr. Aphra comic run that started in 2016. Here's Volume 6 of the Dr. Aphra comic, Unspeakable Rebel Superweapon!So far, I've really enjoyed Simon Spurrier's take on Dr. Aphra. The series returned to form when he fully took over with "The Catastrophe Con", and the volume before this one, "Worst Among Equals", brought the Dr. Aphra comic to new heights. This volume did some aspects well, but is quite a downgrade from the 4th and 5th volumes. THE STORY: Dr. Ap...

This series now seems to be on repeat. More of the same, only getting more convoluted, perhaps. I appreciate trying to give Aphra some depth by showing us her childhood, but it's not enough.The art is really questionable in places, too.2.5 stars

*3.75Well, that plan was interesting.This review will contain spoilers for the first 5 volumesAfter the last volume, I was sufficiently hooked on Aphra's story. That ending - truly beautiful. However, this book shifted a bit from that into the usual Doctor Aphra hijinks that this series started out with. And it wasn't all bad, to be honest.I didn't mention this is my review of the last book, but the whole concept of Imperial PR is very interesting. It is something that most Imperials aren't like...

I love this chaotic woman so much-(This hold took 10. Months. to arrive :)) I placed it in January and actually got it in October :)))

Joy to the world, I’m but a step away from the seventh and last volume of Doctor Aphra‘s first run. Between you and me, dear reader, I loved this volume. Loved it.Remember how I told you not to get used to the consistent art style and direction of the previous volume? That was some solid advice, I’ll have you know! These five issues have four pencillers working on them, four inkers, and two Color artists! Some of the style change can be excused by the switch back and forth between Chelli’s prese...

I really love Doctor Aphra and her adventures. This story however didn’t feel that exciting. But the main detractor from this edition was the artwork. The artist has obviously changed, and it shows, with the characters lacking some of the spark that makes them so fun.

My least favorite Aphra volume to date. The story was a bit slow before all he double/triple crossing at the end. We are approaching the end of the first series. I know that Aphra continues after the events of The Empire Strikes Back but it will still be sad to see this series come to an end.

Once again, Doctor Aphra finds herself smack bang in the middle of the Rebellion and the Empire - but this time, she could tip the scales in one of their favour and maybe end the war once and for all. But Aphra only does things for herself; so which decision will best serve her purposes?Aphra's adventures continue to be great fun - with an added sidekick and a poignant flashback sequence in each issue here, this is a bit of a tour de force in set-em-up-and-knock-em-down type storytelling, as Sim...

Doctor Aphra: Volume 6 is the kind of “Star Wars” comic that one wishes Marvel made more of: a 5-issue tale that a.) doesn’t feel like it was built out of the spare parts of countless other stories in the “Star Wars” canon, and b.) actually tries to do new things with the lore. Not all of the weird detours and quirky self-referentialisms work – Aphra herself is still a character whose personality has the potential to wear a little thin in prolonged doses - but at least it feels different and dis...

This is a step back for the character and this series. I think Dr. Aphra is one of the great original characters, but the story is a bit convoluted this time and I think the character is starting to get a bit soft. It also doesn't help to have such a large cast of revolving artists, with the art changing from one page to the next, often within an issue. Spurrier is usually better at profiling the morally-dubious Aphra. Hope the next volume is a rebound from this.

(Read as Single Issues) After a volume that seemed to get away from the best parts of Doctor Aphra, this collection comes roaring back, complete with blatant Indiana Jones references, doublec-rosses, triplec-rosses, quadruple-crosses, and a final issue that is basically just spent untangling the entire plot (but in an entertaining manner). Aphra is bored after two months of vacation and gets pulled into an excavation, that leads her in and out of the arms of the rebels and the Empire, all while

I don't see a lot of reason for this character/series to keep going. Everything—including Vader finding her again at the end of this volume—feels like a retread of what's already happened to her. Time to let the past die.

Well hello there!Meticulously and ably framed by the writer to straddle some of the trauma of the title characters formative years and the mad-scrabble for survival of her present, you get what you expect out of an Aphra comic: double- and triple-crosses interwoven on a galactic scale over a span of months, maybe even years. Heady stuff, but with enough gonzo action and quirky humour to keep the reader engaged.She might be incurably "Extra", but this character is probably the most refreshing and...
