Canon Comic Review: Star Wars Rebels TPB

– Non-Spoiler Review –

Star Wars Rebels ran for just around 4 years, and in that time fans (myself included!) grew to love and cherish their time with the crew of the Ghost and their struggles as they ignited the flame of Rebellion in the galaxy. The world of Rebels expanded with appearances from the crew in comics and novels, while they made cameos in films like Rogue One, and since it finished airing its characters are much beloved and its lingering story threads are of interest to many fans. While it might not be getting an animated follow-up, though it seems we’ll find out what happens next in live-action, fans can revisit the crew through Dark Horse’s Star Wars Rebels TPB, a collection of the comics that released during its original airing but largely weren’t accessible in the US. While the TPB (trade paperback) doesn’t pick up the story, rather filling in blanks between episodes, it captures the quintessential Rebels-vibe in both story and art, enriching the show, its characters, and any future revisiting of the series for fans.

Star Wars Comics June 2021 Solicitations

Star Wars Comics June 2021 Solicitations

Clearly we all underestimated the upcoming War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, as the June 2021 Star Wars comics solicitations reveal it not only has the prelude issues in May, but it’ll have both the miniseries and tie-in issues going forward, through October! And here I was originally assuming this would lead into a Shadows of the Empire-type event, but it seems this is that big event itself! So read on below to learn about Chewbacca battling Valance (expect limbs to be lost!), Vader and Ochi going up against IG-88 (is there enough ‘man’ left in Vader to defeat this machine?), and Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros come face to face with….DURGE?! Yes, that Durge! Also coming in June, Pride Variant covers, which is a nice touch though I wish they could’ve offered more, like a full issue of Pride-related Star Wars tales…but I’ll take this for now!

December might usually be cold depending on where you live, like here in Wisconsin for me, but it’s usually full of cheer as the holidays are here.

December’s short but sweet list of comics looks to bring the chaotic year to a fun close, from a raid on an Imperial Museum on Coruscant, Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros stuck together again (it’s been moved to January), Wookiee Life Day celebrations, and Darth Vader facing down a creepy, unused concept for The Rise of Skywalker.
