The end is nigh for Chelli Aphra (well, for now, given she'll return in April in a new series), yet the creators behind Doctor Aphra #40 crafted a thought-provoking conclusion that favored rich storytelling in lieu of maudlin sentimentalism.

In the final issue of Target Vader, more secrets were revealed about Beilert Valance, secrets and events that take on a new resonance now with news that the character will headline a new ongoing Star Wars comics series -- Bounty Hunters -- starting in March.

Join us as we say goodbye, albeit temporarily, to a pair of Marvel's finest Star Wars comics.

_ The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 (four-issue mini series)
