About the author
Jason Aaron
2,354 books1,707 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

2.5 out of 5.0. Good action, okay artwork. However, what is it with authors of these Star Wars comics not understanding that a human would freeze to death in approximately 30-90 seconds if they're floating in space? You need a lot more than an oxygen mask.

Best issue in a long, long, time. So good.

Not the best issue, but still great.

What started out as one of my favorite story arcs within this 75 issue Star Wars comic marathon, ends abruptly and not as strong as I would have liked.
3.5 out of 5 star rating, with a round down.
Hopefully this isn't the last we will see of Kreel and SCAR.
Next up to bat: Something about Yoda - let's get after it! Looking forward to issue #26!

I really liked the art in this and the story was enjoyable but parts of it were ridiculous, for future use the writer should bear in mind that humans cannot survive in the vacuum of space with just a respirator and nothing else... dumb

Solid ending to issues 20-25, complete with some clever battle scenes, a twist and a nice bomb drop near the end. I am a fan of the SCAR Troopers and hope that I see more of them.

Pues AAron se ha crecido en ese final, y Molina también. Menudo número, menudo fin de arco y menudo cliffhanger. Una gozada de principio a fin.

All of the action was well done, and all of the dialogue was well done, so it hit the nail on the head.

- The synopsis for this is like an ad.
- There are a lot of great action moments in this issue! It was really fun.
- There were also some humorous moments that I enjoyed more than I should have.
- Han and Leia floating around in space was too much outside the physics box for me.
- There is a little bonus comic at the end dedicated to Kenny Baker. It was a great little tribute to him. I loved it! *sigh*

This ends pretty much how one would expect for the most part. Luke bests Kreel and gets away before Vader can catch him. Han and Leia floating in space with just their mouths covered by their breathing masks is weird. It is a bit intriguing that C-3PO gets captured by SCAR Squad. I wonder whether or not Vader will recognize him. It's ridiculous that he was left behind by the other rebels though.
In the back of this issue is a short called "Droid Dilemma." It's meant to be a tribute to Kenny Baker, but it's really confusing and goes nowhere. Luke tells R2 about a mission to find a missing vessel, and the droid bumps into other droids, even zapping one, and finds out when he reaches the X-Wing that the mission has been cancelled since the vessel arrived after all. I'm also wondering when this takes place in relation to the rest of the series since C-3PO is with the rebels on Reamma in this story.
