Poe Dameron comic #26: The Awakening, Part I by Charles Soule
"Poe Dameron #26: The Awakening, Part I" written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Angel Unzueta and Arif Prianto
This was a great issue with an engaging format letting us in on a little bit of what happened after The Last Jedi -- exciting!! While also giving us a deeper view into The Force Awakens...ingenious really.
We open up on Rey, Finn, Poe, and BB-8 post the Battle of Crait!! And are provided a little insight into what they were thinking and talking about after their devastating encounter with The First Order...Finn does not look happy. Their conversation is quite calm and off-topic considering what they've just been through. They aren't even mentioning the Battle of Crait or what Rey and Kylo did. I wanna know what the others think of Rey and Kylo beating the crap out of the Praetorian Guard...and killing Snoke of course!!
The format of this issue is fantastic with Poe telling the story of how he escaped Jakku to Rey and Finn. The scenes go back and forth between Poe's story and Rey, Finn, and Poe on the Millennium Falcon after the Battle of Crait. The whole part about finding Lor San Tekka is broadly skipped over and only mentioned in passing. We don't even know how Tekka found the map...disappointing but I'll survive.
Apparently, Poe escaped the crashing TIE Fighter by being thrown clean from it. The rest of this story has been covered to some degree in another book, unfortunately I can't remember which one. But it's neat to see it all in full-color! After walking for hours in the desert, he runs across a Blarina named Naka Iit driving a speeder. Poe nearly gets shot by Naka but eventually the Blarina gives in and takes Poe aboard. Then, as they are driving along, the Strus Clan shows up to capture the speeder. Once defeating the Clan with some fancy flying, Poe ends up at Blowback Town, a tiny way station, and finds another Blarina, Ohn Gos, who promises to get him off-planet in his ship the Beloved Bophine. Ohn turns out to be a fan of the Resistance! Arriving at the Resistance Base, Poe tells Leia how her plan ended in disaster and that BB-8 is missing...only to find out BB-8 is on Takodana and his next mission is to fly to that ne'er-do-well place to save the droid.
The next issue will tell the tale of how Poe ended up on Takodana and even says that Black Squadron is undertaking their most daring mission yet...of course that could just be the mission to rescue BB-8...but we'll see! And maybe...just maybe...we'll get more insight into post-Last Jedi...
