I’m excited to reveal an exclusive preview of Dark Horse’s upcoming The High Republic Adventures – Phase III Volume 1 TPB, which will collect the first 5 issues! The High Republic Adventures – Phase III is the comic series’ final entry in the larger High Republic publishing initiative and this upcoming TPB release will be a great way to get caught up before we reach its 10th (and thankfully not final) issue in September. The High Republic Adventures – Phase III Vol. 1 TPB will be out starting August 27, but you can get an exclusive look at its many beautiful, intense, emotional, and hilarious pages below right now!
Here’s the cover, the solicitation, and below it, the preview images for The High Republic Adventures – Phase III Volume 1 TPB:
Hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga, there was The High Republic! The final phase of this groundbreaking story starts here, as the forces of light and life battle against the villainous Nihil!
It’s been one year since the fall of Starlight Beacon. Since then, Zeen Mrala, Jedi Knight Qort, and their allies have been picking up the pieces, searching for their friends amidst the wreckage. All the while, the marauders known as the Nihil have advanced further into Republic space, leaving destruction in their wake. But hope is rekindled when Zeen finds new evidence of survivors scattered throughout the galaxy. Who else escaped the fall of Starlight Beacon alive, and where have they been during these past months? Follow Zeen and her friends as they uncover the answers to these questions, rebuild their team, and head into battle for light and life!

If you’ve been waiting for the TPB collection to begin reading The High Republic Adventures – Phase III and managed to avoid spoilers so far (besides maybe the recent super special one-shot announcement we posted about on 8/22), then you’re in for a real treat when you pick this up, as the artwork in the previews above likely already showcased to you. Older, alongside artists like Tolibao, Brokenshire, and Romboli have crafted an enthusiastic group of opening issues which resolves some big cliffhangers from the Phase I run of the series, packed with emotional payoff plus new and even more intriguing mysteries to follow, with the return of fan-favorite characters across the board. You can check out my full review of each issue below, but beware, they are full of spoilers!
The High Republic Adventures – Phase III Vol. 1 TPB is out August 27!
