I was already conflicted over my feelings for June 2025’s Star Wars comics, but I’m even more so after the big news: Doctor Aphra returns in her next series!! I’m beyond hyped to have her particular brand of chaos back and love she’s launching during Pride Month, but June also contains the big finale to the entire The High Republic initiative (for now), which I’m both excited for and concerned as hell for! Yay more Aphra, sad the High Republic is closing! Conflicted, for sure. Whether you are or not, head below to see June 2025’s Star Wars comics solicitations!
It should be no surprise to Manor visitors that I’m a giant Doctor Aphra fan, to the point she’s my favorite character. Since her superb, emotional, and memorable second series by writer Alyssa Wong, beyond a cameo appearance and flashback stories since it ended, fans have been waiting (and I’ve been theorizing like crazy) to learn when the rogue archaeologist would return. The wait is over, as she’s back this June with Marvel, fitting considering it’s Pride Month, with a new writer/artist team! Dark Horse also revealed a new miniseries focusing on the Jedi with a smile, Kit Fisto, which will hit shelves starting in July. Head below for more about Aphra’s return and Fisto’s series!

While your mileage may vary with the choice of song—I for one am really looking forward to more of Nicholas Britell’s riveting score—there’s no denying the striking and thrilling imagery in Andor‘s season two trailer! Given the excellence Andor climbed in season one, I don’t think we were expecting anything less! I particularly enjoyed Cassian swooping down after the missile strike, seeing Bix Caleen more involved, Krennic’s return, and whatever colorful rave Mon Mothma was in, to name a few of the intriguing glimpses of the show’s return. Set for April 22 (just after Celebration Japan 2025, where I’m sure they’ll show it early), Andor season two will release across four weeks of three episode chunks, as technically the show jumps a year after each set of three episodes, so it sort of makes sense to make them one big movie-like experience. I’d still have loved for it to be weekly, but it’s more Andor, so how can I complain?! I’ll be reviewing them in the three episode chunks once Andor hits our Disney+ using devices in April!
