It’s clear Charles Soule’s run of the Star Wars series has been building to this moment, as the rescue of Shara Bey, the plan to finally unite all of the Rebel Fleet, Commander Zahra’s ruthlessness, and even Qi’ra’s return to the galactic stage come to a head in issue #22, setting up for what’s sure to be an epic-sized conclusion over these next few issues.

Compared to last June‘s Star Wars comics solicitations, 2022 might not have anything as big as the War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, in fact we have a break from Qi’ra’s comic trilogy, but it is packed with issues that should interest fans of all eras. June kicks off The Mandalorian‘s adaptation comic, Qui-Gon Jinn guest appearances in the Obi-Wan comic (and maybe Obi-Wan show!), Chelli Aphra has to battle her memories to escape her latest problems, while Charles Soule digs up tales across his Star Wars comics career for a truly spectacular and epic 25th issue for his current Star Wars run. June will once again have Pride Month variants, though they haven’t been revealed yet and I have some hopes Lucasfilm/Marvel will do a little better this time around (especially in light of everything going on with the company). Head below for all the details on Star Wars comics’ June 2022 solicitations! UPDATED 4/13: There’s been a lot of delays at the moment, so you’ll find a few June comics are actually ones from either April or May…I’ve updated the dates for the original June releases below.

After focusing on Luke Skywalker for a few issues, Star Wars #21 (Vol. 2) brings the series back to its core story of the Rebellion against the Empire, the struggling fleet trying to reconnect and get out from the gaze of Imperial hunter Commander Zahra. But before the big action, issue #21 focuses on the plight of Shara Bey, hiding away on a Star Destroyer….Zahra’s Star Destroyer, the Tarkin’s Will!

Look, everyone fights about whether May the Fourth or May 25 is the actual Star Wars Day, but why argue over semantics when we could have a whole month?! Star Wars month?! That’s what May should be, as far as I’m concerned, especially with this excellent list of comics full of potential and surprises, while the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show happens as well! For May’s 2022 Star Wars comics solicitations, there’s the beginning of the new Obi-Wan comic, tons of characters returning to the lives of Han Solo and Darth Vader, Chelli Aphra is in big trouble and I’m stressing out about it (what’s new!), and so much more! While there’s only a preview for one of the covers (Peach Momoko’s Obi-Wan variant), May also hosts a Japanese Variant Cover spread, which brings well-known Japanese artists to Star Wars for a series of variant covers, so there’s that to look forward to as well! Head below for all the details! UPDATE 4/13: There’s a lot of delays happening at the moment, so many of May’s issues have slipped into June and beyond, with April‘s delays falling into May. Hopefully this doesn’t get any worse. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2022 Solicitations”
April 2022 comics bring many surprises for the entire Star Wars comics run, from the Knights of Ren ransacking Vader’s Castle for Qi’ra, Han finding more twists on his latest heist, the promise of only one survivor on Dr. Aphra’s latest quest, and so much more. There’s still no word on when Dark Horses’ contributions will begin (besides some The High Republic related content in October), so it’s all Marvel below. Check out Star Wars comics’ April 2022 solicitations now! UPDATE 4/13: Several of the comic release dates have changed, with a few slipping into May, June, and even July. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics April 2022 Solicitations”
March’s Star Wars comics in 2022 sadly take a break from the High Republic era, as its first Phase ends earlier in the year, and goes all in on its post-The Empire Strikes Back push, as Qi’ra’s galaxy-brain plans explore her operatives’ pasts, the Rebellion Fleet reunion enters its final leg, Aphra returns to her…university, maybe, and so much more. Plus, March sees the start of a new series, Han Solo & Chewbacca, which promises a final page reveal you won’t want to miss…so I break down some options below. Check it all out! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics March 2022 Solicitations”
February’s Star Wars comic solicitations look to be dominated by The High Republic’s Phase I finale content, so much so I don’t think any amount of chocolates on Valentine’s Day will help with the fallout. Cataclysmic and galaxy-shaking events reverberate throughout all High Republic content, while Sabé returns to haunt Darth Vader’s life, the Star Wars hotel tie-in has some exciting faces to explore, and a few of January’s issues slip into the month. Check them out below! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics February 2022 Solicitations”

Luke Skywalker rushes to help his friends retrieve Han Solo from the clutches of Crimson Dawn but his time in transit gives him too much time to dwell on his fear, while Leia, Lando, and Chewie face a difficult choice in the latest War of the Bounty Hunters‘ tie-in issue, Star Wars #16 (Vol. 2).
