I vaguely recalled it didn't suck one star's worth when reading the description but I read this less than a month ago - on the ninth - and nothing stuck in my brain.   I'm guessing it wasn't even worth three stars since I'm blanking on everything else.   

Because, jeez, Bloodshot's all like 'Kay was my soulmate!   Kay was my true love!'   

He literally got sent to protect her and knew her for like an hour before she died.   Whuuuuut?   Also, weird.   Kay is the newest Geomancer, a force for nature.  Like all he others before her, a Big Bad - the one the Eternal Warrior can never beat - is supposed to kill her.  

Everyone in the Valiant universe rallies to help save her.   Sounds simple, doesn't it?   Except that it's the slow build up of the Eternal Warrior's desperation, the revelation of his past, and the surprisingly charming - given how quick it is - true love story between Kay and Bloodshot.  

Yay, so awkward.   But she calls him out on his bullshit, and he's her white knight.   Again, literally, as he's alabaster.   It's a lot more fun than it sounds, although I don't know if this would be good for someone not familiar with the characters already.   It's probably a lot more fun if you know them, but that wasn't a problem for me.

From Goodreads:

The Rebel Alliance's newest recruits are teamed with its greatest heroes to hatch a plot and pull off a heist right under the noses of the Empire's finest. Can Han Solo, Princess Leia, and others live up to their legends, or will they be found to have feet of clay? Or, is it possible, that their most obvious weaknesses might also be their greatest strengths?

Matt Kindt, the acclaimed author of "MIND MGMT" and "3 Story," and artist Marco Castiello of "Halo: Initiation," step into the "Star Wars" galaxy to weave a tale of danger, intrigue, and outrageous misdirection.

While I like the artwork it tends to be a bit on the Dark Side. <--see what I did there? hehe I crack me up. Anyway, what I mean is a lot of it is in the greys and blues. Which I guess makes some sense because the Alliance works in the shadows and such. Or am I putting too much thought into it? So, it’s not all sneaky-looking. There are some very colorful scenes as well.

The story is told from several POVs and I really enjoyed how all the pieces came together in the end. There’s action, mystery, suspense and fun to be had in this volume. I recommend it for any Star Wars fan.
