It's very much black and white in this one, as one cannot shake the feeling that recent "Star Wars" comics favour style over substance. The art still amazes, with great set pieces that are a delight for every Star Wars fan, but the story seems to unnecessarily drag without any essential developments.
While Leia's and Sana Starros' involvement in the prison assault features some awesome moments of suspense and action, the story seems to skip forward all the time, leaving out important information in the meantime. And then there's the comic's conclusion, with an obviously doubtful and unlogic decision and a team-up really no one needs.
And yes, there's also Han's and Luke's story arc, featuring either never seen before scenes as tie-fighters chasing the Millennium Falcon (wow!) or subtle comical masterpieces as poo jokes (poo jokes? poo jokes!!!). Cut the few pages of that, extend the prison break story line and you would have had a really good comic... It wasn't to be this time.
