The story's straightforward, Han and Chewie are both tasked with getting Grakkus from point A to point B - boom, mike drop. Of course, it's NEVER that easy! If I imagined a snippet adventure between Han and Chewie, it'd probably resemble this. It's quite a short one but with bang bang, I shot you down action which I live for having previously read a Boba Fett comic before and living for it.
It's not the traditional shooty shooty adventure I'm accustomed to seeing again and again in the films but it does have it's moments in both action and sweet tender luvin' moments, which provide a beautiful layer of storytelling. It does provide a very intimate setting as it's fitted into confined spaces on the Millenium Falcon so that in itself gives an idea of the scale of the comic and does allow for more well-crafted humour to come through.
The art is absolutely fantabulosa with high realism as if it's leaping from the reels of the film. The panels consist mainly of 3 to 4 on each page which offers a higher cinematic experience to the comic.
There's a sort of chemistry that plays off Han and Grakkus like a loving rapport and the admiration Grakkus has for Han which is great as deserves a lot of appreciation! Grakkus is frightening with his huge domineering figure and lightning-quick movements creates a whirlwind of trouble and not the good kind of trouble for Han. It's quite cool to see him make the moves! Of course, Han has a few magic tricks up his sleeves to get the upper hand.
There was one light that got me in the comic when Han says the following: "Never stopped being me." Oh boy, tears to my snatched eyes!
