    Yeah, it would be really nice if not only the description but also the cover of future issues were behind labelled spoiler tags.

    #19: Clever issue! My favorite so far. So much happens!

    • Sister Six lives! And joins the Rebellion! I'm very relieved she didn't bite the dust. She was my favorite of the merc group. She's so fun and I really hope other authors utilize her in future series/media.

    • Poor, poor Posla. :( Still yet to face Evazan and avenge Bog, and now Aphra has traumatized him too.

    • Yewl: What's his story? Was he also a test subject of a Tarkin Initiative R&D project, or was he grievously injured in some other manner? What are his RPG stats in that technocoffin?? [face_skull] Is he being sent to Accresker Jail too? Please say yes, so he can stay in the picture.

    • Six, Posla, Yewl -- this arc has treated me to so many characters who are right up my alley. Good thing, because it stung when they yanked out Rabael Dir Glorio mere pages after introducing him in #15. :p (Yeah, it was funny and fitting, but damn it!) R.I.P. (presumably) Rabael, with your sword-swinging self-important silly Violet Ghost persona and your zany eccentric classic Marvel SW vibe.

    No, but seriously... he's also interesting in that he's an Alderaanian noble (26th in line to the throne). Aren't you dying to know whether Leia knew him? I'm pretty sure she used to hate him and avoid him like the plague at parties.

    Yeah, I pretty much love that he's Alderaanian but also a total d-bag. And I do believe that he IS Alderaanian, and nobility, but still a pretentious scam artist. Like, I bet he's really 28th in line to the throne.

    Sooo everyone wants to kill Aphra now (except maybe Vader who seems to have a sweet spot for her). She's clever on one hand, but foolish on the other hand. Giving people what they want would have gotten them off her back, but she just had to be greedy again. There will be a day of reckoning for this larger than life character, I feel it in my bones.

    Still, very entertaining issue. I also enjoyed how Sister Six joined the Rebellion, it somehow felt fitting. But the greatest part was definitely Triple Zero telling Aphra how she's just like him. He's a true Bond villain, this bot. I guess I'll never get enough of his grandiose speeches. Wonder what's next for Aphra now. I somehow doubt her relationship to Tolvan will be lasting long.

    Just read this today (my comic shop was a little late getting some issues so this one just arrived today.

    Very good issue as always with this series. Not surprising that it looks like Tolvan won't be featured as much after this arc (it would have been pretty forced for two selfish individuals who are more focused on their careers than their personal lives to all of a sudden run off together and be happy together). The comic did what it should have done. They had a day or two of sex and then promptly leave and turn on one another.

    Looks like Sana will be coming back into the picture so we will likely find out what their past was.

    All around, a pretty decent issue. Some interesting pieces of trivia, especially for fans of Bor Gullet.

    - Aphra's interrogators are thawing a frozen "Bor of the Mairan," which Tolvan describes as a "mind leech." It's one of only three such creatures in Imperial hands. While you can't see it's shape properly through the ice, the name and the cover of next issue make it clear that this is the same type of creature used by Saw in Rogue One, with Bor being the name of its species... and Gullet maybe being that individual Bor's name?
    - The Accresker jail is en route to the Senex-Juvex from Legends, where the Empire is currently engaged in an operation known as the Bandit Purges.
    - While exploring the big hunk of wreckage towed by the Arquitens, Aphra finds herself on the gundeck of a Penumbra-1 Shattersprite, a vessel legends say was flown by the early Jedi. She estimates that its been lodged amidst all the wreckage for centuries, and naturally she wants to search it for Force relics.
    - Some more wonderful relationship building between Aphra and Tolvan. My favourite quote from the latter: "Oh no. I'm in love with an evil idiot."

    Although this thread is pinned right now, today's issue of Doctor Aphra should be discussed in this thread.

    It looks like the graphic novel in the Dr. Aphra series will be coming out next week based on this series (Remastered). I don't buy the comics but have been eagerly waiting on the latest graphic novel compilations.

    I've actually followed this link which shows the comics featured in the latest graphic novel compilation. I assume the next one won't come out until sometime next year.

    Aww, I guess Luke and Aphra won't ever hook up.
