Poe Dameron comic #27, The Awakening, Part II by Charles Soule

"Poe Dameron #27, The Awakening, Part II" written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Angel Unzueta, Arif Prianto, and Rachelle Rosenberg
     This issue delves WAY more into post-Crait conversations and goings-ons than the last issue...exciting!! We even get to see General Leia interact with our three main characters. I can't wait to see what they do with this going forward...I want ALL the post-Last Jedi info!
     We start off with Leia hearing "echoes" of Han as she's in the co-pilot seat of the Millenium Falcon fleeing Crait. She hands off the seat to Nien Nunb. Then he and Chewie fist bump each other! Too cute.
     Poe recounts the Battle of Takodana and Rey says it sounds like he was using the Force. Finn says he's gotten conflicting reports on how the Force works lmao and Poe says he grew up with a "tree" and if he had the Force he'd know it. This is the Force tree from the Shattered Empire comic series that takes place immediately following Return of the Jedi! So cool they included that!
     Finn goes off to check on Rose, and a Porg interrupts Poe and Rey's conversation - haha!
     This issue is too much lol. Poe calls him and Rey "torture buddies" for both having been tortured by Kylo Ren. And she's like, yeah...
     Then we get a brand new story about the recon mission done of Starkiller Base. Apparently, Jess Pava created a ship without engines that would use gravity to fall from the belly of an X-wing and skim the Base while taking data readings. Kare and Snap convince her to let them do the mission since they were just married and don't want to spend any time apart what with the danger lying ahead of them. It was fascinating the way the recon ship worked but I didn't completely grasp it... Still, it was neat to get a view into what that recon mission actually entailed--definitely more than I realized.
     So on to the next issue! What more post-Crait happenings will we be privy to? I'm excited!
