– Spoiler Review –
Star Wars Adventures #1 (Vol. 2) is a relaunch of the all-ages IDW series, which originally began in 2017, and it begins by focusing on the era between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, putting the sequel trilogy’s heroes front and center. The backup stories return, but for now the Graf family is taking a break from telling tales and we’re getting villainous-led tales instead for now.

October feels so far away, but I’m very anxious for it to come as not only does The Mandalorian’s second season arrive, Star Wars Squadrons will be out, and it’s my birthday month, but I’m getting married (finger’s crossed we don’t have to postpone we did, unfortunately)! There’s still even a honeymoon to be had, so I might miss out on some of the Star Wars goodies in October, of which the comics have quite a few great issues ahead, so check them out below!

Despite understandable civil unrest and a still out of control pandemic, all types of businesses and entertainment are trying to return to some sense of normalcy. September for Star Wars comics definitely looks to be heading in that direction too, catching up with most of the issues set to release prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and Diamond Comics halting shipping. All 4 of the current on-going series push forward with some of their bigger issues, as Luke looks to gain a…yellow lightsaber?; IDW’s relaunches their Star Wars Adventures line to tales set between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker; Vader visits Padmé’s tomb!!?; and Aphra tries to escape an evil ancient city…so a normal Wednesday for her. Head below to check out all the releases! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics September 2020 Solicitations”
These are uncertain and often frightening times and I want to take a moment before we hop into the future of June’s Star Wars comics to wish everyone well and hope everyone is taking the necessary precautions to stay safe. One of the few certainties left are the release of both the solicitations for upcoming comics and the continued release of comics as well, and today we have a look at June’s coming stories, as Doctor Aphra fights for her life against an ancient curse (so a normal Wednesday), Vader’s efforts to uncover who hid Padmé from him takes him to unexpected places, Boba Fett and Valance do battle, and more!
UPDATE 5/2/20: Diamond comics stopped shipping product in April, but it will resume shipping in late May, with a far reduced schedule for all comics, including Star Wars comics. The only new issue out in June will be Bounty Hunters #3, originally scheduled for April. You can still look at would’ve been below, but we’ll have any and all new solicitations on the Manor once they’re released! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics June 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)”
May sees the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and it’s only fitting all the comics right now are focused on honoring the film’s legacy by directly dealing with the fallout of the film’s events: Luke Skywalker finds himself in the possession of a yellow lightsaber, Aphra’s new tomb raiding adventures sound even crazier and more exciting than before, and Vader also does some tomb raiding of his own…venturing into Padmé’s!?! Peer into May’s Star Wars comics solicitations! UPDATE: IDW has since dropped their solicits and it seems Star Wars Adventures will relaunch in May! The solicitation text seems to suggest the relaunch will be full of tales set AFTER The Rise of Skywalker, but the fine folks at Jedi Bibliothek have tempered expectations by mentioning the solicit is outdated. UPDATE 2: The updated solicit has arrived and IDW relaunches with a story between The Last Jedi and TROS, not after the Skywalker Saga finale…check it out below! UPDATE 3: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, comics stopped shipping in April and publishers aren’t releasing digital copies until physical copies can make it to store shelves. Because of the current halt in shipping, Marvel has already stated their pausing work on/releasing a third of their May and June comics, without any clear plan yet on how to release the currently effected issues and those they are pausing. We’ll update as soon as we know more! UPDATE 4 (5/2/20): The only Star Wars comics out in May will be Doctor Aphra #1 (Vol. 1) and The Clone Wars – Battle Tales from IDW, per the new reduced schedule as Diamond begins shipping comics again. You can still look at would’ve been below, but we’ll have any and all new solicitations on the Manor once they’re released! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)”
