I do not like Luke's face on that cover. It might just be that my eye isn't quite back to normal yet (getting closer though; I think I'm allergic to one of the soothing drops I was prescribed because as soon as I stopped using them things started healing way fast) but it looks like the top and bottom halves of his face don't belong to the same person. I'm getting flashbacks to a Classic Doctor Who story called The Mind Robber, where the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe are all trapped in a world of fiction, and the Doctor is forced by Weirdness to recreate Jamie's face from cutout pieces and gets it wrong.

(A case of covering for an actor with the flu leading to a truly brilliant moment of TV.)

The World Destroyers are a great concept that I wish the series made more use of. A series of giant machines that literally eat planets and produce materiel to make more of their fleet and presumably more of themselves? That's TERRIFYING. That's an existential threat on a level that can barely be comprehended. I'd honestly be quite happy for a series focussed entirely on dealing with them.

Aaaaaand he's back, with the exact same explanation that would make us all groan in Rise of Skywalker. At least the imagery is on point, excellent use of shadows on the artist's part.

Overall I kinda feel like this series needed a lot more issues to really be told properly, and we're only in the second entry. That worries me.
