Canon Comic Review: The High Republic Adventures – Quest of the Jedi #1

Posted on April 26, 2023April 26, 2023 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

The High Republic Adventures – Quest of the Jedi #1, written by Claudia Gray with art by Fico Ossio, takes us further back in the overall era than ever before, but what’s hidden in the past might hold big answers for the future. A riveting one-shot, I left this issue wishing for 12 more immediately, as I didn’t want it to end, so fascinating where the characters, world, story, and implications for the initiative’s story thanks to Gray’s writing and Ossio’s brilliant artwork.

Day Three of Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 had two different publishing focused panels, starting with a full one just for Dark Horse‘s contributions and later one for Lucasfilm Publishing‘s own works, though both were a little light on announcements. Dark Horse focused on Jaxxon, as their upcoming Annual stars the hare-brained scoundrel (and writer Cavan Scott promised there will be more), and some upcoming The High Republic Adventures teases for Phase II and Phase III. Lucasfilm Publishing spent time revealing new pages from upcoming reference titles, announcing a new one all about Wookiees (!!), and of course more The High Republic content as well. Head below for the sneak peaks!

With The High Republic’s Phase II beginning just this week with the release of Path of Deceit, the opening YA novel by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland (and our reviews you can read here!), the New York Comic Con panel easily could’ve been simply covers for some of the remaining Phase II content and fans (me!) would’ve been happy. But thankfully they love to bring more than that, as while plenty of covers were revealed for upcoming Phase II releases, we learned about some new content as well, like an intriguing YA Anthology which will span all THREE Phases of the era. Learn all about the newest reveals for The High Republic below! Continue reading “NYCC ’22: New The High Republic Phase 2 Covers, Titles Announced!” →

The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!

Posted on February 12, 2022February 12, 2022 by Head Butler Ryan

With the first Phase of The High Republic nearly at an end, the final comic issues dropping March, the latest The High Republic Show was focused more on how we got here, Krystina Arielle’s cool new digs and fan-made costume, and discussing much of what’s transpired since The Fallen Star‘s release in January, plus a suggestion on which piece to read to finish Phase I, Wave III. There were some reveals for Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, like who’s writing what, from Zoraida Córdova kicking off the new story with the adult novel and Claudia Gray behind a comic book, as well as a much requested and really exciting Art of The High Republic book, but it was focused mainly on the journey so far and teases of the future (5 or so years total in story) and I think it was well-deserved considering how fandom has accepted the initiative since its launch, though it also mentioned something fandom has been rallying against for sometime. Head on for the lowdown! Continue reading “The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!” →
