Today's Star Wars 65: Tie Fighter Issue 1

CREATORS: Houser, Antonio, Prianto, Dowling, Loughridge

There is a lot to unpack in this first issue of the series. We meet Shadow 5 aka Shadow Wing. They are a group of Tie Fighter pilots with high level skills sent on a mission to track down a Star Destroyer that has gone dark.

The team is very diverse, with male and female pilots and even two that are in a relationship. This series is a companion series to the upcoming novel Alphabet Squadron:

There are two stories in this first issue, the second story is a quick interlude that introduces us to Lt. Quell  and Zin Graw, two female pilots that look to be very integral to the main story in the novel. I think the impact of this series will have more depth once the Alphabet Squadron is released, for now it's great to have some visuals for the characters in the novels and watching some cool fight scenes.
