Star Wars Visions: Peach Momoko #1 Review:
In this one-shot issue, we flash to a potential future of the Star Wars galaxy, as a Dark Side cult rises up, and so does a hero with a lightsaber. Also? The issue is silent.
Host Pete LePage was blown away by the issue, saying it was worth it “for the art alone… I can’t say enough amazing things about the art. I really believe that this is the future of comics.”
Justin Tyler also liked the book, and in particular really appreciated letting “creators take swings at ideas, doing stuff in-world that feels and looks different.” He also compared it to later issues of Jeff Smith’s Bone, when that title got “more mythological.”
Alex Zalben also thought the issue had “beautiful art,” and in general is a big fan of Peach Momoko’s work.
