Decent Sequel Era Stories?

Like many, I feel the Sequel Trilogy is... definitely not the high point of the saga. But at the same time, I try not to condemn something entirely. Often I find that even when a movie or series isn't the best, the expanded media surrounding it can sometimes succeed where the parent project failed.

Anyone who grew up with the 1998 _Godzilla_ reboot and its spin-off cartoon knows what I'm getting at.

So, that being said, are there any worthwhile stories to be had from the Sequel Era of _Star Wars_ lore? I'm mainly interested in comics, but any suggestions are welcome.

For example, I've been eying the Kylo Ren Marvel comic run. Is it worth my time?
