For the short time he was in \u201cThe Force Awakens,\u201d Poe Dameron made his mark, promising a riveting and unique star bound hero who took his X-Wing and kicked some dark side ass.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Oscar Isaac did a bang up job establishing Poe Dameron on screen and thankfully Marvel and Disney give Poe his own stand alone series. It\u2019s a well deserved service to a character that saved the day, helped set the stage for hero Finn, and reminded us why the X-Wing fighters are just as cool as Jedi. Poe Dameron\u2019s series attempts to bridge the gap between a few months or so before we saw him on \u201cThe Force Awakens\u201d before he\u2019s taken hostage by Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren and bears witness to a mass genocide.<\/p>\n<p>In the first issue, we meet Poe as braves a new expedition all on his own at the behest of General Leia Organa, and forms his own squadron to seek out some sort of mystical device that is mistaken as a magic egg by an underground cult hidden in a cave. The interplay between BB8 and Dameron makes up some of the best moments of the first issue with the pair defining their interesting dynamic and friendship. Dameron is a gallant and interesting hero prone to talking his way through problems and only shooting when it\u2019s a last resort, which is somewhat reminiscent of Han Solo.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to learn more about Poe Dameron and how he ended up becoming the best pilot in the galaxy, or at least in General Organa\u2019s army, but I guess we have a lot more issues to go before we begin learning more about Dameron\u2019s motivations, heroism and whatnot. For a first issue, it\u2019s particularly well done and very entertaining. Phil Noto\u2019s art is crisp, clean and very fluid allowing a great sense of adventure in this world surrounding Dameron. I hope the series continues this momentum and builds on Dameron\u2019s mythology as he\u2019s an already interesting hero and rebel. I hope the movies continue developing him even further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey you can complain all you want about lack of female heroes and lack of African American Heroes and lack of Gay heroes in \u201cStar Wars.\u201d What about us?
