I agree - it can be hit and miss. For the most part, I'm enjoying the stories - but there are some clunkers as well. What's surprising to me is that for the most part the bad ones aren't bad for the reasons I expected. I thought things like the green rabbit and Jabba's inconsistent look would be the most glaring problems - or maybe even huge inconsistencies with what we now know to be cannon. Instead, the bad stories are really just the ones that fall back into cliche, ones that don't really do anything different from any other scifi story (if you could interchange any characters into the story/situation, it's no longer a Star Wars story). Most times these are the one-off issues, single issues - not multi-issue arcs. Which is why I'm trying to spend some time talking about each issue/arc so that anyone interested in the reviews gets an idea of what I liked and didn't about each.

I've also tried to shy away from giving too many spoilers - hints about the plot and where things go, but without spoiling the ending or the big surprises (if I can avoid it). I think on the whole, this first volume is a worthwhile read for any fans who've avoided the Marvel series, and from what I've read of volume 2 so far, things get better as they go.
