lucymonsterI didn't bother blogging about last month's release of The Fall of Kylo Ren issue #1 because it was kind of just fine? There was some entertaining anti-Hux pettiness from Kylo and some ground-laying for his growth as a leader going into TROS but mostly it felt like filler before the real action started.
AND NOW THE REAL ACTION HAS STARTED AKSJFHKLAJGSA. So, Kylo is working out while deep in a daydream about Rey - dwelling on their fight against Snoke together, copying her movements beat for beat - when his new situationship Tava Ren arrives to take another stab at winning him over. The Knights of Ren have blundered into an unwinnable conflict with some sort of army of terrifying assassin droids and getting Kylo to help is their only possible chance of survival, so they show up on his flagship with a "gift" of the stolen dark side artifact that kicked off the droid conflict in the first place. Kylo is delighted with this gift, and promptly and predictably activates its power, thus summoning the assassin droids. Throughout the whole thing Tava is snarky and flirty and funny and irresistibly charismatic while Kylo has to double down HARD on all the worst of his stilted, inauthentic Supreme Leader persona to resist her charms, and aaauuugh he is such an embarrassing prick and the sexual tension is off the charts and (unfortunately for Tava, who deserves better) they are SO going to fuck. In my fic if not in canon, though given how brazenly Charles Soule has catered to every other part of my id, at this point it would not surprise me if Kylo actually gets laid on-page by the end of this run.
Anyway to give you guys a little taste, here is the face Tava is making at Kylo:
And here is the face he makes back:
It's not quiiite as bad as the dinner date but it is still PRETTY DAMN BAD. KYLO YOU WRETCHED THING WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
