Star Wars #9
On the planet Nagi, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Rynn Zenat, and Beilert Valance search for the Dark Azanti witch Reyna Oskure who has been secretly pulling the strings causing the conflict among the New Republic, the Pirrosi, and the Nagai. Oskure is an interesting enemy, hiding behind-the-scenes, although we finally do get a face-to-face meeting at the end of the comic.
Star Wars #9 is your typical Star Wars comic with a mix of core and new characters offering plenty of action with our heroes fighting their way to an eventual confrontation with Reyna Oskure. Of interest here is a very small subplot involving Leia facing her own Empire Strikes Back moment struggling over staying put where she's needed or racing off to save her friends. The choice she makes is hard, but true to the character (especially the one Expanded Universe version of Leia, although the comic is decidedly set in the current canon which, of course, we know far less about).
