Canon Comic Review: The High Republic Adventures #1 – Phase II
– Spoiler Review –
Of the many highlights from the first Phase of The High Republic initiative was the story Daniel José Older cooked up in his IDW comics series, The High Republic Adventures, which centered around Padawans and a smaller scaled story of their connections and struggles throughout the Drengir and Nihil conflicts. Older returns with The High Republic Adventures – Phase II via Dark Horse and the same pedigree is already present, this time introducing us to a younger incarnation of Phase I character Sav Malagán and her own struggles with being part of the Jedi Order. Energetic, engaging, and grounded in Sav’s character development, The High Republic Adventures #1 – Phase II seems to promise, despite the shorter run, something as memorable as the first.

Canon Manga Review: The High Republic – The Edge of Balance Vol. 2
– Non-Spoiler Review –
Shima Shinya, this time with Daniel José Older, and Mizuki Sakakibara return to further expand the adventures of Lily Tora-Asi and the Jedi Temple on Banchii in The Edge of Balance Vol. 2, published by Viz Media LLC. With the temple fresh off the recent Drengir attack, it finds itself struggling to prepare for any further fights, and in the process gets caught up in the era’s bigger events, robbing some of the magic which made the first volume special, but it still remains an unique and intriguing viewpoint into the era.
