Canon Comic Review: Star Wars (Vol. 2) “The Destiny Path” Arc {Issues #1-6}

Posted on October 5, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

2020 was meant to be the start of so many new things, a new decade and the relaunch of Marvel’s many Star Wars comic series, but we all know what happened next. The relaunch came and was abruptly delayed, but many months later the entire first arc of the Star Wars series’ relaunch, “The Destiny Path,” found its way to comic shelves. Dealing with the fallout from The Empire Strikes Back, “The Destiny Path” feels like an organic continuation of the story, but it also contains glimmers of where it plans to take us next, all while containing writer Charles Soule’s deft ability to combine past, present, and future for memorable and surprising moments.

Much like the Darth Vader series’ return after nearly 5 months, now too does the Star Wars series’ relaunch begin again after its own 5 month break. Star Wars #5 picks up a similarly intriguing cliffhanger, as Luke closes in on the mysterious woman in his visions, and the answer turns out to be someone from the Charles Soule-verse!

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.

Star Wars Comics August 2020 Solicitations

Posted on May 21, 2020September 14, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

More and more of the upcoming Star Wars comic releases become clear as companies reshuffle their schedules in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic related closures. We got updated June and July 2020 solicitations earlier this week, and now plans for August are becoming clear: many of the issues meant originally for May will be released, though there’s one big omission for the moment: The High Republic comics meant to premiere alongside the rest of the initiative in August. There’s no update at this time if they’ll still release then or a little later, but we’ll update you as soon as we hear more (UPDATE 5/26: High Republic was moved to January), though in the meantime head below to see which comics, like Aphra, Vader, and the latest Star Wars, will hit in August!

Star Wars Comics June 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)

Posted on March 19, 2020May 2, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

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)” →

In Star Wars #4 (Vol. 2), the L-Squad (Luke, Leia, Lando, and now Lobot!) finds a way to wiggle out of their various predicaments on Cloud City in another entertaining, and transitional, issue. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #4 (Vol. 2)” →

Canon Comic Review: Star Wars #3 (Vol. 2)

Posted on February 26, 2020October 5, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Cloud City is a recent wound in the L-Squad’s lives (Leia, Luke, Lando), but it still holds precious necessities for each of them, so they tempt fate and return in Star Wars #3 (Vol. 2) and it becomes clear rather quickly it won’t be any easier than last time to escape!

Star Wars Comics May 2020 Solicitations (UPDATED)

Posted on February 20, 2020May 2, 2020 by Head Butler Ryan

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)” →
