A solo issue this week, but Doctor Aphra #17 goes a long way in building up the mystery of the Ascendant as well as the mysterious allure of Crimson Reign's Archivist character. A new antagonist promises uncertainty and fear as Aphra and Sana strive to find some very expensive -- and very dangerous -- artifacts.
