Guri goes to Spinda’s personal planet in an attempt to rescue Doc, while the bounty hunter still pursues her. The hunter’s client is revealed to be the secret niece of Xizor, who hopes to take over Black Sun and needs Guri to succeed. Spinda, however, is using Doc to turn droids into fighters, but Doc may have some plans of his own.
What they got right: I’ve been trying to figure out how put this together to insure you understand that I am enjoying the comic. The art is good, the characters interesting, and story intriguing. If it sounds like I have nothing to say it’s because it’s good but nothing stands out to point out.
What they got wrong: When the narrator is asking if this is worth it, did Guri actually answer him “no”? Or is this shifting between narration and Guri’s inner monologue with no indication which is which?
Recommendation: This is still an interesting story and one you should check out.
