Heroes of the Rebellion Poster-A-Page

     Heroes of the Rebellion Poster-A-Page is the last of the poster books I recently discovered--that I know of. I have to say this was probably the least captivating of all of them unfortunately. The artwork was simply straight from the TV show Rebels and showed no ingenuity of design like Rogue Heroes did.
     Each page was front and back a different poster except for the section intro pages (see below). And there were 7 "supersize" posters--the size of 4 pages put together--included that displayed individually Ezra, Kanan, Zeb, Sabine, Hera, and Darth Vader plus a poster of the Ghost crew along with Rex and Ahsoka. I was disappointed Chopper didn't get his own supersize poster!
     There was a partial plot line in the beginning. But then the book's sections took a different turn and just covered various aspects of the show.
     The first section was titled "Path of the Jedi" and chronicled Ezra's journey from street thief to Jedi. The second, "Part of a Team," lightly described each member of the Ghost crew. The third, "Rise of the Rebellion," displayed enemies and minor characters. The fourth, "Rebel Wisdom," had stock phrases plastered across scenes from the show. And the last, "Decorate Your Ship," contained posters perfect for decorating a young fan's door what with phrases like "Sabine's Studio: Prepare for paint fumes" and "No stormtroopers beyond this point."
     No posters really stood out to me this time and I did not, sadly, have a favorite. But I am certainly happy I went ahead and bought all the Poster-A-Page books because there were some real gems contained in their collective pages.
     Check out my reviews of the other poster books here:
Creatures, Ships, and Droids (recommended if you like trivia and digging deeper)
The Skywalker Saga Episodes I-VI (recommended as a primer for newbies to Star Wars)
Heroes and Villains (some really great small posters)
Rogue Heroes (a simple intro to Rebels with beautiful pop art)
