We interview filmmaker, comic critic, and generally badass human Monika Estrella Negra about one of her favorite comic book characters: Doctor Aphra. We talk about our deep love for this self-serving archaeologist and her salty exes. From issues with her dad to facing down Darth Vader himself, Chelli Aphra finds a way to double-deal, scheme, and backstab her way through the Star Wars universe.
