I read the X-Wing series of 9 books years ago but never read the comics. Spotting this in a library, I thought it was a good opportunity to see what I was missing out on. Turns out I was missing quite a bit! While the book series starts 2 and a half years after Endor, this starts just after the big battle. The first story was written in 2005 but the other two in the mid-90s(last two Michael A Stackpole stories). The first story isn't up to the standard of the last two but its still all great fun...more
The first two stories here, Rogue Leader and The Rebel Opposition, are a bit average. It was a bit of a struggle to get through them.

The Phantom Affair is my personal favorite, with its interesting/odd plot and glimpse into Wedge's background. The art for all three is quite good, as expected, though...more

Variable artwork quality but good stories. There are a few dropped plot points but overall solid storytelling.
Good stories but the artwork is "meh" at best and "urgh!" at worst.
One word : Excellent
