Finished reading Star Wars: Last Flight of the Harbinger, continuing Marvel's main Star Wars series as writer Jason Aaron introduces a new group of Imperial soldiers that may be more than a match for the Rebels. The book opens up with another entry into Obi Wan's time on Tatooine as he comes face to face with the bounty hunter Black Krrsantan due to Jabba the Hun hiring him to find Obi Wan after trying to protect a young Luke and his family form Jabba's men. The next story focuses on the SCAR squad who are after a group of rebels. The main story of the book sees the main Star Wars cast capturing a Star Destroyer to be used to get aid to a Imperial controlled planet, only for things to at an interesting turn when the SCAR squad infiltrate the ship in order to get rid of the Rebels abroad the ship. Additionally there is a R2-D2 story by writer/artist Chris Eliopoulos that sees R2 heading to meet Luke at his X-Wing for a mission. Overall this was a great book as it introduces new and intriguing characters while also give development to classic and recurring characters. The introduction of the SCAR squad is great as each member gets their own time to shine while the squads leader Sergeant Kreel gets the most developed out of the group due to being the leader along with previously showing up in the series before. The continuing adventures of Obi Wan is great as its give more insight to what the character was doing during is time on Tatooine and dives more into how Black Krrsantan got some of his battle scars before showing up in the main story of this and the Darth Vader series. The art throughout the book is great as Jorge Molina art for the book's main story brings to life the space battles extremely well while the designs for the SCAR squad are on great display within their own story as well as the main story. While Mike Mayhew's art on the Obi Wan story includes some amazing visuals form the fight between Obi Wan and Black Krrsantan to the aesthetic of the planet itself. 8/10.
