Star Wars #46 - "Mutiny at Mon Cala, Part III"

[laughing_tree]

They’ve blown up the Death Star, which was literally 20 years of work from the Empire, and it’s an enormous propaganda victory. So they’re on the upswing. Jason has been touching on that a bit. By the time we see them in Empire, they’re cornered at a remote base, and they’ve been on the run for ages. They’re quite low. The Empire has struck back before The Empire Strikes Back starts. That’s kind of the core thing, and that’s what I want to do. We start high with the rise of the Rebellion and then there must be some awful tragedy at some point. -- Kieron Gillen

Well every ship is submersible, at least once.

The art is really awkward. Kind of reminds me of Byrne's Star Trek photoplays.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: The Uncanny Valley is still strong with this one.

I think this issue is an improvement on the previous instalments though. Still deeeeeep in the valley, but not quite as horrifyingly terrifying.

Kida reminds me of LA Noire.

I was just going to say that but feared beating a dead horse. I really don't get why this series has these creepy photoreferenced faces slapped onto otherwise solid art month after month.

I mean is it just us? As regular comic readers instead of the presumably (slightly) broader audience that Marvel wants for this book, do we just have unrealistic standards? Because I find it hard to believe that anyone could look that this and think it looks good, even if they're not particularly choosy about art.

That's a "ruh roh" panel if I ever saw one there at the end.

The Moff looks a bit like Mike from Red Letter Media. Which is appropriate as the art's had me thinking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62UzLgdb1GQ
