At first, I really enjoyed it, but then it got weird. There was quite a bit of snark here, especially at the start. This is a short snippet of Wedge's background and his influence in Rogue Squadron and the movies. What I liked about all of the comics in this Omnibus was that at each beginning, when the pilots were introduced with a 'face shot', the names were given. I have this on the Dark Horse app, which doesn't have the page numbers in it, so I'll be going off the app # if cite anything.

There’s a ton of better Star Wars comics out there so unless you grew up reading these and want a trip down memory lane (or just want to torture yourself with some pretty lame stories) I suggest you skip these and pick something else. That, and an over abundance of new characters constantly cycling through the ranks of Rogue Squadron, making for little to no continuity. Even when anything remotely exciting happens, it’s conclusion is lackluster and leaves the reader without any desire for more.

Instead, there’s a bunch of badly drawn issues with badly scripted stories that are just flat out boring at the best of times. Much like the first volume, there’s really nothing in this second volume that stands out or brings anything worth mentioning to the overall Star Wars story. On one hand, I guess there’s a nostalgia factor at play here, since this series came out in the mid 90’s, smack dab in the huge Star Wars resurgence of the era, but even then, I can’t see that as justification for such a overly dull and boring series of stories. 2 of these Rogue Squadron collections later and I can’t figure out why they are so immensely popular and loved.
