A wily set of clones always finds more mischief, so fans of The Bad Batch haven’t had to totally mourn the show as we have another comic miniseries to enjoy from Dark Horse. Writer Michael Moreci, alongside the art team of Reese Hannigan, Elisabetta D’Amico, Michael Atiyeh, Tyler Smith & Bobby Bradford, are back for more hijinks, though this time around the Batch faces an unlikely foe in their path, rogue clones!

Canon Comic Review: Rogue One – Cassian Andor #1

– Spoiler Review –

It’s hard to think of a better way to honor Rogue One‘s 10th Anniversary (what do you mean it’s been 10 years?!?) than basking in Andor‘s complexities, seeing the heroic efforts afterwards by rewatching the film, and maybe diving into A New Hope for the ultimate payoff. Marvel Comics didn’t want that to be fans’ only option and thus a series of one-shot comics were born. We begin with Rogue One: Cassian Andor #1, which tries to squeeze into the end of Andor season two and the beginning of the film. Read on for my review!
