Stranger Things : Six. TPB.

Six tells the story of 6 and a little about 3.

Six has the power to predict the future. But she is not very good at it. 

Three can influence people with his words.

Thought flashbacks it tells the story of her upbringing and how she got into the program. 

The story isn't the greatest. But it surprised me that a few years before the last season came out, that it foretold Vecna and the tank 11 used. 

It was an ok read. But not ground breaking.

Han Solo: Imperial Cadet. TPB.

This TPB collects the limited series about Han Solo when he was an Imperial Cadet. A missing part of the Solo movie. Which I feel had more then a few.

The story starts out when Han becomes a cadet. From the very beginning he is a jackass to his instructors. Constantly in trouble and being insubordinate. It only gets worse when he disobeys direct orders and steals equipment. 

We aren't dealing with the rebels or smugglers, we are dealing with the empire. The same empire that destroyed planets. Not sure why they didn't shoot him or just kick him out. They explained it that the commander of the academy took a liking to solo and his skills, reminding him of himself. 

That being said. I did enjoy the story. Just didn't seem to make sense why they would tolerate it.

Side note. TPB, trade paperbacks, are not the same as graphic novels. It's a pet peeves of mine, I know it's pretty. But a froahxi novel is a complete story meant to be read in a larger book like format, while a TPB is a collection of single issues from a series of comic books.
