Moon Knight #15: This issue is such a wonderful tour of the cast's relationships that it feels wrong to analyze it too much. I would just say that it leaves you feeling like Marc may actually have a life for the first time in a long time. I'm sure that'll end well. Come for jokes about DID, stay for the hug with Reece.
Star Wars #27: This issue is better than the last one, thankfully.
Soule does a great job showing Bevelyn and Melton's desperation as they flee the second Death Star with their kids in tow. They aren't action heroes, so they make mistakes as they escape pursuit. For example, they're forced to jump to the various pre-programmed destinations in their stolen shuttle's navigational computer since they don't really have a place to go.
Eventually, they find themselves on Coruscant, with Melton hoping that it's a large enough place for them to avoid detection. Based on the (presumably) Imperial ships heading to their crash site, he might've been too optimistic. The good news for them is that Luke decides to take up their case after hearing about it at an intelligence briefing. (He tells the briefer that he has a good feeling about it.)
I'll admit that I'm not entirely sure what Bevelyn and Melton thought was going to happen when they became Crimson Dawn spies. It seems reasonable to assume that they'd have made some sort of plan for the eventuality that the Imps discovered their treason. I mean, they should've at least made sure that they had their Crimson Dawn hander's contact information on them at all times!
I'm also a little skeptical about all the Rebels refusing to help them because they're afraid that it's a trap. I get they're scarred from Zahra's attacks, but they presumably have some way to meet potential informants while mitigating the possibility of a trick.
As I said in my review of last issue, I love Soule, but he feels off in this arc so far.
