Star Wars: Doctor Aphra | Comic | 2016
I’ve enjoyed most of the Marvel-published Star Wars comics, but without a doubt, my favorite has been the ongoing adventures of lesbian space archeologist Doctor Aphra. She first appeared in the Darth Vader series and quickly became a fan favorite. She’s smart, shady, tough, and also has two evil murder droids as her companions. What more could you want?
Well, there’s a lot more, actually. Aphra eventually got her own series, which ended in 2019 and ran for 40 issues. But don’t worry, she’s already got another series (with the same title) and will likely continue to pop up in more comics, involving her and her crew of misfits more exciting criminal underworld shenanigans. She might not be as good of a person as the Mando, but if you want some fun adventures set in the grimy corners of the Star Wars universe, start reading Doctor Aphra.
