Star Wars Comics november 2023 Solicitations

As fall settles in and winter fast approaches, the days grow darker ever quicker here in the Midwest, fitting for the penultimate month of the Dark Droids crossover and the feeling of helplessness most of these issues will hold before our heroes manage to prevail against the droid Scourge.

Phase III of The High Republic begins in earnest as Marvel’s on-going from Cavan Scott kicks off, alongside more Shadows of Starlight, while letting Peach Momoko set the stage for a series of Star Wars: Visions one-shots all sounds like the perfect remedy to the darkness, no?

Canon Comic Review: The Mandalorian #1

Marvel Mandalorian 1 Review MynockManor

The Mandalorian #1 kicks off the 8-issue adaptation of the series’ first season, brought to life by writer Rodney Barnes, Georges Jeanty on art, Karl Story for inks, Rachelle Rosenberg as colorist, and Joe Caramagna for lettering. Not straying from the series’ opening chapter, The Mandalorian #1 is a solid enough adaptation, and while I won’t be reviewing more issues for a variety of reasons (including I already reviewed these episodes), reading this issue brought up an interesting discussion to be had about ownership of Star Wars material (or anything, for that matter) in this new streaming age, so I’ll be focusing more on that below.

Star Wars Comics July 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-July-2022-Solicitations

July is set to be a refreshing month for Star Wars comics, as many of the current series’ reach their 25th issue mark, closing out storylines and beginning new ones…well, if they actually come out in July. Unfortunately, the global issues with shipping, printing, and paper are still affecting comics and many of April, May, and June’s have slipped into different months, with several from June and even May releasing in July now. So these issue below likely won’t be out in July due to the landslide effects (maybe August?), but they are exciting looks at where things will go once the Star Wars comics get there. Check out “July’s” Star Wars comic solicitations below, where we see Sana Starros leading a crew to rescue Aphra (?!?), the chaos Qi’ra unleashes on the galaxy, a deadly mission during the Clone Wars for Obi-Wan, and more!
