From:

I've been spot-reading based on interest/reception pretty much since they swapped canon, but Poe Dameron definitely falls under interest! But yeah, I really felt it was true to the Poe we see in the comics - super mission in front of him focused, a little reckless at times, dedicated to the Resistance, but not always mindful of the larger picture, and he pushes back against Leia at times too. Basically, I finished up through like issue 19? (thru vol. 3 of the TPB) in November, and the characterization flowed to me, and then I got online and people were complaining about him being OOC and I'm just like, wait, really? LOL. So obviously, for me it worked.

But....! Don't walk, RUN to go get the Princess Leia novel. So far I think Claudia Gray has written all of my favorite novels in the new canon. It's not just good Leia, it's good coming of age YA, and it's as satisfying as really amazing fanfiction. It's hands down my favorite novel of the new canon. And there's a lot of Bail and Breha and it left me wanting a whole story (or MAYBE an anthology film?) about Breha. Like, more Organas in 2018 please!
