Kyio Ren in chains! A hutt triumphant! Or is it the opposite?
Marvel's Legacy of Vader #3 continues the quest for clarity by the Supreme Leader of the First Order, but will it lead to only more confusion?
Comics Discussed This Week:
Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:
- Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku -- Last Stand #2 (of 4)
News: - Star Wars Celebration Japan starts this week. Our predictions? Lots of books and comics. What sort of comics? Definitely something related to The High Republic from Marvel (perhaps the finale one-shot) as well as the next round of Hyperspace Stories from Dark Horse. Look for the reveal of Daniel José Older's variant cover for June 25's finale of The High Republic Adventures Phase III #20.
- Dark Horse is collecting the 12-issue Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories maxi-series as a hardcover library edition on Oct. 21. That was a fun title and we hope to see more of it this year and next.
- There's likely to be several retailer-exclusive variants for the recently reprinted Star Wars (Vol. 1) #1 facsimile edition.
