As the Spark Eternal continues to possess Chelli Aphra’s body, scheming for more power, various groups descend on it for various reasons.

What follows is Doctor Aphra #23 (Vol. 2), an absolutely delightful set of reunions and ensemble shenanigans, with tons of humor, heart, and even more familiar faces returning!

Luckily, as we can see in November 2022’s solicitations for Star Wars comics, there’s a lot to enjoy, from more The High Republic Phase II stories, new comics like Hidden Empire or Revelations, a metric ton of worry about Doctor Aphra, Yoda-centric adventures, and more!

– Spoiler Review –

It feels like decades have passed since the previous Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) issue, as we’ve been waiting on pins and needles for what happens next after the shocking ending and issue #21 does not disappoint, as the Spark Eternal brings chaos into everyone’s lives, Domina Tagge makes demands of Sana and Kho to hunt down the possessed Aphra that leads to some delightfully surprising returning faces, and we finally return to Lucky and Ariole’s story as well. As packed as it sounds, it’s a wonderfully balanced and paced issue that was more than worth the wait! Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Doctor Aphra #21 (Vol. 2)” →

Star Wars Comics August 2022 Solicitations

Posted on May 20, 2022 by Head Butler Ryan

With less than a week before Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, here are the August Star Wars comics solicitations, which include the beginning of Dark Horse’s return to the Saga with their all-ages input! Most of the issues in the solicitations will actually hit in August, as it seems the delays are back under control for now, but a few issues from prior months are scheduled to come out in August 2022 as well, so I’ve made sure to reference them too. Otherwise, feast your harvest-season eyes on T’onga’s final bid to save Cadeliah from Qi’ra’s Crimson Dawn, the next glimpse of Obi-Wan’s past, Chewie behind bars (again, but like can’t he just bend them?), and Darth Vader facing his most feared enemy…sand??!!?

Star Wars Comics July 2022 Solicitations

Posted on April 15, 2022May 20, 2022 by Head Butler Ryan

July is set to be a refreshing month for Star Wars comics, as many of the current series’ reach their 25th issue mark, closing out storylines and beginning new ones…well, if they actually come out in July. Unfortunately, the global issues with shipping, printing, and paper are still affecting comics and many of April, May, and June’s have slipped into different months, with several from June and even May releasing in July now. So these issue below likely won’t be out in July due to the landslide effects (maybe August?), but they are exciting looks at where things will go once the Star Wars comics get there. Check out “July’s” Star Wars comic solicitations below, where we see Sana Starros leading a crew to rescue Aphra (?!?), the chaos Qi’ra unleashes on the galaxy, a deadly mission during the Clone Wars for Obi-Wan, and more!

Canon Comic Review: Doctor Aphra #19 (Vol. 2)

Posted on March 24, 2022 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Having two issues in one month is something I’ll never not be happy about, but the resulting two month wait for the next Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) issue certainly was hard to stomach, especially since its cover and the previous issue teased a return to the past to explore these characters’ history a bit more. Doctor Aphra #19 (Vol. 2) more than lives up to the hype, featuring some well portrayed representation, exciting blend of past and present, and a cliffhanger I’m so damn happy will only take a month to resolve.
