Review – Star Wars Vol. 4 – Crimson Reign

Cover for Star Wars Vol. 4: Crimson Reign, showing Luke Skywalker in Jedi robes wielding his yellow lightsaber. In the foreground, two stormtroopers with their blaster rifles ready to shoot.

Star Wars Vol. 4: Crimson Reign compiles issues 19-25 of the ongoing Star Wars series, written by Charles Soule. It has art by Marco Castiello, Ramon Rosanas and Rachelle Rosenberg.

This is a tie-in to the “Crimson Reign” crossover event, showing the events of the decimated Rebel Alliance and their conflict with the Imperial Commander Zahra and the costly battle that the remaining legions and her Star Destroyer/Tarkin memorial engage. It serves as a restarting point for the entire rebellion campaign and closes some loose ends. The art is fantastic as usual for this team, and shines.

This TPB also includes issue 25, which is the 100th script written by Charles Soule for a Star Wars comic. It is a commemorative issue spanning all his work in the saga, including four tales, one from the Anakin & Obi-Wan series, another for the Darth Vader series, one for Kylo Ren and a rare story set *after* Episode IX, featuring Poe Dameron and his squadron. It is a great issue, and seeing all the artists reunited for new adventures warmed my heart.

This is a very recommended compilation.
