 Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Vol. 7: A Rogue's End by Simon Spurrier et al.

Doctor Chelli Aphra's journey comes to an end (at least for now) in this seventh and final volume. It seems that Doctor Aphra may have finally turned a corner from being only a selfish user to truly caring about others. She finally decides to do some good and to do right by those she cares about. I really liked the way this series ends. I would recommend this to Star Wars fans and those who enjoy comics/graphic novels.

Doctor Aphra decides to lay low, but it lasts only a short time. She soon gets roped in on another adventure that, unbeknownst to her, is for the Empire. The Empire has taken notice of Aphra and her actions that have led to open rebellion on planets she visited. She thinks the Rebels are planning to make a superweapon out of the special rifle she found that was created by an ancient Jedi. However, it all turns out to be a ploy created by an Imperial propaganda and misinformation minister. There are several flashbacks to Doctor Aphra's childhood with her mom and they bring a bit of context as to Aphra's behavior and psychology. I enjoyed reading this volume and look forward to finishing this series with the next volume.

The untold origin of the Goblin King from Jim Henson’s cult-classic film, Labyrinth.

Long before Sarah ventured to save her baby brother from the clutches of the Goblin King, another young woman sought to save her child from an unknown fate within the Labyrinth. Set in 18th-century Venice, Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Coronation is a striking look into the mysteries of the Labyrinth itself, uncovering the fate of a small boy named Jareth who would one day be King.

Simon Spurrier (The Spire, Jim Henson’s The Power of the Dark Crystal) and Daniel Bayliss (Jim Henson’s The Storyteller: Dragons, Big Trouble in Little China/Escape from New York) present a look into a magical world where nothing is as it seems and introduce Maria, a heroine instilled with courage, hope, and determination.
