Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 3: Remastered by Kieron Gillen et al.

 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 3: Remastered by Kieron Gillen et al.-136 pages

Doctor Aphra's adventures continue. She is tasked by her new master the murderous protocol droid, 0-0-0, with finding the droid's memories in an imperial database, called Hivebase-1. It's in Tarkin's Initiative. Aphra is tasked with picking a team and infiltrating the base to retrieve the data. Along the way, she has run-ins with her lover/crush, the Imperial Inspectorate officer Tolvan. Doctor Aphra is selfish and only uses others for her own gain. She has little morality or regard for others. I am enjoying reading this series and look forward to continuing it.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 2: Doctor Aphra and the Enormous Profit by Kieron Gillen et al.

 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 2: Doctor Aphra and the Enormous Profit by Kieron Gillen et al.-168 pages

Archaeologist Chelli Aphra's adventures continue. Doctor Aphra's plan to make a large profit from selling the Immortal Rur crystal she took from her previous adventure with her estranged father goes awry. She gets several offers for the crystal and chooses the Shadow University. They offer her other artifacts along with money as payment. However, her murderous droid companions turn on her and call Darth Vader (who she used to do some jobs for). Doctor Aphra must use all her cunning and resourcefulness to escape Vader and get away from the planet. She may yet get a big payday after all. I enjoyed reading this second volume in the series.

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 1: Aphra by Kieron Gillen et al.

 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 1: Aphra by Kieron Gillen et al.-144 pages

Doctor Aphra is about a galactic archaeologist named Chelli Aphra who travels the galaxy with a protocol droid and astromech droid. Usually, the Wookiee Black Krrrsantan comes along on Aphra's adventures, also. Mostly, he is concerned with getting what Aphra owes him. Aphra's father comes back into the picture in this first volume. He is still chasing after the Ordu Aspectu as before when he left her. Now, he's roped Doctor Aphra into searching for them. What will they find? Who were the Ordu Aspectu? I enjoyed reading this first volume and look forward to reading more in this series.

Star Wars, Vol. 8: Mutiny at Mon Cala by Kieron Gillen

Star Wars, Vol. 8: Mutiny at Mon Cala by Kieron Gillen-144 pages

I really enjoyed reading this comic/graphic novel. Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, R2-D2, and C-3PO set out on a mission to rescue the King of Mon Cala from an Imperial high security prison. The goal is to get him to authorize the Mon Cala fleet to aid the Rebellion since the regent (who is in the King's place) won't. They will have to kidnap the Moff of the Mon Cala region and replace him with a being who can replicate him. First, they have to rescue said being from a prison. Will Leia and the gang succeed? Will Mon Cala's fleet aid the Rebellion or not?
