The LEGION OF DUDES do a 45 minute long audio review (starts at about 15 minutes) of Star Wars: Invasion #2 and #3 and they like what they see.
“3 pages in and I laughed and just had to put it down and enjoy… “
“I’ve been loving this series… I want to see more.”
- LEGION OF DUDES
The reaction to Star Wars: Invasion #3 has been great, with fans seeming very happy with the latest issue, and the first reviews have surfaced. The first over at NJOE.COM…
“Invasion issue 3 is 22 action-packed pages!” “This issue kept moving and wouldn’t let you go until the very end.”
- NJOE.COM
You can read the rest here (spoilers).
While Star Wars Invasion #3 is one of three ‘Weekly Winners’ over at Comic Book Jesus.
“Taylor gives enough info about the Vong for curious readers, and starts to make serious strides in showcasing the menace of the creepy race. Plus, in the few pages that reveal Skywalker’s relationship with the apprentice Finn Galfridian, Taylor lays hints that he’s going slightly beyond the typical SW mentor/protege arc that we’ve seen many times before.”
- Comic Book Jesus
You can read the rest here (spoilers).
There’s another review over at ComicList
“Luke as a full Jedi Master is just so much cooler than the Luke from the movies. He doesn’t come off as a wise master but he sure knows how to be a badass when it’s needed. The comic is also great when it presents the emotional roller coaster that Finn is on. He’s just started his training and he is trying to get a handle on who he is and how he feels about everything. This comic really bolsters Luke and Finn very well.”
- ComicList
“I think Finn is a good, new character for the Star Wars universe. I think its the way Tom Taylor has been writing him so far is what really has me connected to this series.”

“Invasion #3 sees things get turned up a notch in terms of action and excitement. There are some big story shocks, some revelations about the moral character of certain people, some big explosions and plenty of cool Jedi action from Luke Skywalker.” “9 out of 10.”
There’s also a 4 star staff review over at Things From Another World.
Thanks to all of the people who’ve taken the time to leave a personal message on the website or drop me an email. Colin and I have a lot more in store. Finn has pieces missing… what does it all mean?
Also, in case you missed them, here are the links to some Star Wars: Invasion #2 reviews.

Issue 2 of Star Wars: Invasion is out, which means there’s been ample time for reviews of Issue 1 to be written.
I thought I’d highlight some nice, balanced reviews here… I doubt I’ll get around to highlighting the negative ones.

And a few reviews have already appeared for #2, with the fine people at NJOE once again seeming happy, Nerdgasm feeling it was worth picking up more than anything else they reviewed in the week, the Gaijinside staff selecting it as one of their nine books that have ‘risen above all others’ and TFAW giving Star Wars: Invasion #2 a rare 5 star staff review.

Colin and I are very happy to know that we’re ticking some boxes for people already, particularly given that we know what’s coming. This was early days for both of us. By issue 3 and 4 we’re really hitting our stride and the next story arc, post set-up, should be huge.
