Star Wars Comics June 2025 Solicitations

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

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!

Comic News: Doctor Aphra Returns for New Republic Hijinks, Kit Fisto Miniseries Announced

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

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!

Star Wars Comics May 2025 Solicitations

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

The world might be in disarray, but damn it if Star Wars Day aka May the Fourth won’t try its best to cheer us all up a little bit, hopefully! And when the day and deals are done, all our retail therapy completed, there’s still plenty of Star Wars comics to enjoy as well, like the start of Star Wars (2025), a kaiju special in Jedi Knights, Kylo Ren visiting Naboo, and the Battle of Eraidu reaching its epic ending(truly this time)! Check out May 2025’s Star Wars Comics Solicitations below, which includes my theorizing rabbit hole about a new Doctor Aphra series!

Star Wars Comics April 2025 Solicitations

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

I could open this up with a variation on the joke about ‘April showers’ but I feel like I’ve done it before and done it dirty already, so no need to put you, or me, through that again. But I can say April 2025’s Star Wars comics aren’t full of bad jokes, rather intriguing moments like the canonization of a cancelled action figure, the big finale to the Battle of Eriadu, a new adventure for Poe Dameron and BB-8, and Kylo Ren being Gradulla the Hutt’s prisoner, among other things! So you know, quite the showering of weird comic moments (had to make a joke there somewhere)! Check out April 2025’s Star Wars comics solicitations below.

Comic News: Star Wars (2025) Goes Post-Return of the Jedi In May

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

After the past five years of heavily connected comics, with a bunch of big crossovers about Qi’ra’s return as the head of Crimson Dawn and even a spooky droid virus, Marvel has already shown their 10th Anniversary year would be a little more diversified, timeline-wise. There’s the Sequel Trilogy era Legacy of Vader or the pre-Prequel Era Jedi Knights, but this latest announcement shows they will continue their tradition of having a Star Wars series set in the successive era from the last: Alex Segura and Phil Noto will bring Marvel into the post-Return of the Jedi era with their Star Wars (2025 aka Vol. 3) in May! Head below for the full covers and some scant details from the first solicit. Continue reading “Comic News: Star Wars (2025) Goes Post-Return of the Jedi In May” →

Star Wars Comics January 2025 Solicitations

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

January is usually a time of new beginnings for most people, especially as they start their attempts at New Year’s resolutions (which I believe in you, you can do it!), but for Marvel and mostly Dark Horse Star Wars comics in January 2025, it’s more about endings. On Marvel’s side, their big The Battle of Jakku maxiseries meets its climactic titular battle, Ewok adventures end, and the publisher looks back at their 10 years of comic legacy (which means I’ve been reviewing comics for 10 years now here and I’ll have to unpack that later). For Dark Horse, there’s finales to Echoes of Fear and Tales from the Occlusion Zone, while their main THRA series marches towards the era’s end, but they also bring something new: a Bad Batch miniseries! Head below to check out January 2025 Star Wars comics solicitations now!!
