Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Sometimes, it’s just one of those days: an audiobook original for Audible gets shadow dropped by Disney Lucasfilm Press, while Dark Horse announces both a Bad Batch focused miniseries for January 2025 (via Star Wars News Net), and The High Republic Adventures Annual Phase III. Audible’s Padawan’s Pride follows a young Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the early days of their training (and I’ve already listened to some of it), Clone Force 99 rides again in Hyperspace Stories – The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents, set during the Clone Wars, and the THRA Annual bring 5 stories of light and life during the era’s third Phase.

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

Nothings ever truly gone…or dead, as the return of the annual spookfest for Star Wars comics likes to remind us! From the ashes of IDW’s Vader’s Castle series rises Dark Horse’s Tales from the Rancor Pit, this year’s spooktacular collection of scary all-ages tales from writer Cavan Scott and a variety of artists. While it doesn’t quite scare like those before it, it’s a worthy successor with delightfully chilly stories from across the eras. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Tales from the Rancor Pit” →

Dark Horse Enters the Race with Hyperspace Stories, Tales from the Rancor Pit

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

It’s been 6 months since the announcement Dark Horse would return to publish Star Wars comics and now we have the first details on their non-The High Republic content! Dark Horse is focusing on all-ages comics, like IDW did from 2017-2021, with two series: 1) Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories, essentially their take on IDW’s Star Wars Adventures line, as it’s an anthology series set in all different eras on the timeline. 2) Tales from the Rancor Pit, a new take on the horror anthology goodness IDW cooked up with their Vader’s Castle series. These two join the already announced The High Republic – Quest of the Jedi, though while that’s not out until October or later, these should be out in the summer! Head below for more details and a look at the first covers. Continue reading “Dark Horse Enters the Race with Hyperspace Stories, Tales from the Rancor Pit” →
