    Check the New Releases on Sunday to find out True Believer.

    It will contain earth-shattering information that will change your status quo forever.

    colors are off, this series is one that I am glad is over. Wasn't too thrilled with it, hope that Lando is better. Now the main two, those are still awesome.

    Finally. Now the line-up can make some room for something that'll hopefully be better.

    Since Im starting to think you know every comic related thing ever, do you know if Terry Dodson has some other comic to "Illustrate"(I apply that term very loosely to his work in Leia) that will stop him from working on anything star wars for a while?I hope so anyway.

    I really don't, but over twenty years, have I been reading and buying comics.

    Unlike you, I'm a big fan of the Dodsons and I have no doubt Marvel will already have projects lined up for them! They also have the Red One hardback out from Image in July too.

    It went out on a high note, at least. With the entire series in hand I'm looking forward to rereading it and seeing if my overall opinion improves.
    So that Imperial shuttle we see in this issue and the last one wasn't, in fact, the shuttle Leia used in the mainline series. Huh, I thought sure that was going to be a link between the two series. Guess the shuttle was stolen on some earlier adventure we haven't seen yet.

    No repercussions over Leia basically deserting the Alliance and then returning? Dodonna surely smoothed things over on her behalf, or perhaps she simply used her force of personality to resume her duties as if nothing happened, but I wouldn't have minded seeing that addressed, even if only with a line or two of dialogue.

    The fact that the Rebels are still on Yavin 4 at the end would imply that all this happened in a remarkably short period of time. I was kind of wondering how Leia was going to find the fleet, given that Dodonna hadn't chosen a system for them to go to by the time she left, but the Rebels dawdled I guess.

    Well, this conclusion to the series wasn't bad. Leia had some good moments, though some of the subplots seemed a little abrupt. I think Nien and Artoo ultimately had the best parts of the issue.

    Was I the only one wanting there to be some kind of romance between Nien Numb and Evaan? What Luke can have a different girlfriend in every comic he appears in but poor old Nien has to remain a lonely heart?!

    Just finished it:

    Good ending, love such endings to a story.

    At some moments I felt like the comic was abit rushed, I mean...They packed this whole Leia getting captured--to the Alderaanians good and well and they got away and everything.

    I still liked it though ( due to good ending )

    However this series is probably the lowest on on my favorite comics list. I'm much more excited for the Lando comics than I were for the Leia series.

    At the conclusion of this, I hope that we see both Evaan and remaining Alderaanians in some capacity later on. And whatever type ship that is, the Espirion Multi is freakin' armed to the teeth.

    While I thought this issue was okay for a final issue, I can honestly say that I'm not too sad to see this mini-series end. For the most part it was just not that interesting (which is surprising considering who was the lead). I think the biggest issue I have is that it had more potential than this and the fact that I expected more from some of the things brought up in this mini series (ie the visit to Naboo, seeing more of Leia and her life on Alderaan, and her in the custody of the imperials for instance).

    P.S So I take it that the Alderaan people now use something similar to Naboo's methods in terms of leadership roles judging by the ending.

    I loved this miniseries and am sad to see it end, but I enjoyed it to the very last issue.

    Would have been better as an animated special on Disney Channel based on the story that Marvel laid out in this mini-series.

    So is Leia now no longer a princess?
