Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 10 Amazing Comics To Read While You Wait
10. Poe Dameron

Charles Soule can't seem to stop working, but when his work's this good, who can blame him?
The writer's able to boast successful stints on She-Hulk, Daredevil and Swamp Thing, and his work on Star Wars is just as good if not better. Which brings us to Poe Dameron - an ongoing series Soule has helmed since the middle of last year.
The comic explores everyone's favourite Resistance Ace before the events of The Force Awakens, and given the character's cult status, it's certainly a worthwhile endeavour. The always amazing Phil Noto handles art duties for the book, with its action sequences in particular always looking fast, fluid, and fabulous. Soule also has a great feel for the character and indeed the universe too, as is evidenced by the role he's had to play in crafting the new EU's formative moments.
The book does have its flaws, but it's certainly one of the best Star Wars titles out there right now - especially out of those that focus on the new era.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
