Since I just bought the Dark Horse series that took place in the same time frame and over the same concept, no I won't be getting it. It feels like I'd be paying twice to see the same concept in a different light.
Plus, while I enjoy Cassaday, I feel like the book will be delayed or have an artist change after the first arc.

So I ended getting issue 1. I thought I'd give it a try and asked my retailer to save me a copy which was quite a good idea as the books flew of the shelves and he was sold out by Saturday.
First of, not worth the $4.99. Yes it's got more pages than a usual comic book but damnit a third of the book is stuffed with preview art from 2 other SW books.
SPOILERS
I thought it was a good story even though it's hard to believe that the Empire wouldn't know who Han Solo is. And Leia is quite the bitch, asking Chewie to take the shot against Vader than blaming Solo that the plan is going to hell.
The one important thing to notice out of this book though is that Cassaday has offficialy gone the way of Greg Land. Lots of tracing, stiff action scenes. At this point, for me, his name on the cover of a book is a turn-off, not the other way around. Carlos D'Anda was doing a much better on the Dark Horse book.
So in the end, I'd like to come back for the rest of the story but probably won't cause the art is not worth the price of admission. I'll wait for the Comixology sale.![Big Grin :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Maybe it's a little too early too tell but Aaron seems more action oriented whereas Wood's approach seemed more political and social.
The scene where Vader stopped the AT-AT walker from stepping on him was badass.
I'm really tempted to pick up the Leia ongoing series. It's got a superstar team: Mark Waid and Terrh Dodson
