Star Wars Comics May 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-May-2022-Solicitations

Look, everyone fights about whether May the Fourth or May 25 is the actual Star Wars Day, but why argue over semantics when we could have a whole month?! Star Wars month?! That’s what May should be, as far as I’m concerned, especially with this excellent list of comics full of potential and surprises, while the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show happens as well! For May’s 2022 Star Wars comics solicitations, there’s the beginning of the new Obi-Wan comic, tons of characters returning to the lives of Han Solo and Darth Vader, Chelli Aphra is in big trouble and I’m stressing out about it (what’s new!), and so much more! While there’s only a preview for one of the covers (Peach Momoko’s Obi-Wan variant), May also hosts a Japanese Variant Cover spread, which brings well-known Japanese artists to Star Wars for a series of variant covers, so there’s that to look forward to as well! Head below for all the details! UPDATE 4/13: There’s a lot of delays happening at the moment, so many of May’s issues have slipped into June and beyond, with April‘s delays falling into May. Hopefully this doesn’t get any worse. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2022 Solicitations”

After nearly two months, Crimson Reign returns with its second issue about Qi’ra’s big, galaxy-brained plan to take down the Sith at the top of the Empire. While the first issue introduced us to her ideas and those she’s recruited to her cause, Crimson Reign #2 narrows in on the missions assassins Ochi of Bestoon and Deathstick are sent on.

Star-Wars-Comics-April-2022-Solicitations

April 2022 comics bring many surprises for the entire Star Wars comics run, from the Knights of Ren ransacking Vader’s Castle for Qi’ra, Han finding more twists on his latest heist, the promise of only one survivor on Dr. Aphra’s latest quest, and so much more. There’s still no word on when Dark Horses’ contributions will begin (besides some The High Republic related content in October), so it’s all Marvel below. Check out Star Wars comics’ April 2022 solicitations now! UPDATE 4/13: Several of the comic release dates have changed, with a few slipping into May, June, and even July.

Star Wars Comics March 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-March-2022-Solicitations

March’s Star Wars comics in 2022 sadly take a break from the High Republic era, as its first Phase ends earlier in the year, and goes all in on its post-The Empire Strikes Back push, as Qi’ra’s galaxy-brain plans explore her operatives’ pasts, the Rebellion Fleet reunion enters its final leg, Aphra returns to her…university, maybe, and so much more. Plus, March sees the start of a new series, Han Solo & Chewbacca, which promises a final page reveal you won’t want to miss…so I break down some options below. Check it all out!

Star Wars Comics February 2022 Solicitations

February’s Star Wars comic solicitations look to be dominated by The High Republic’s Phase I finale content, so much so I don’t think any amount of chocolates on Valentine’s Day will help with the fallout. Cataclysmic and galaxy-shaking events reverberate throughout all High Republic content, while Sabé returns to haunt Darth Vader’s life, the Star Wars hotel tie-in has some exciting faces to explore, and a few of January’s issues slip into the month. Check them out below! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics February 2022 Solicitations”

Star Wars Comics December 2021 Solicitations

Star Wars Comics December 2021 Solicitations

Normally December is a month of mid-winter celebrations, but Star Wars comics looks to be anything but joyous and cheerful, as the underworld is in chaos due to Crimson Dawn’s startling return, Vader’s leading a crew to take them down, Aphra and Sana find themselves dealing with an ancient cult (if they’re elves, that would at least be festive), while The High Republic era content doesn’t seem any more uplifting with murder investigations and the deadly Lourna Dee holding a lightsaber. Grab yourself some spiked eggnog, you’re going to need it, before checking out December 2021’s Star Wars comic solicitations! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics December 2021 Solicitations”
