Posted on April 21, 2021April 28, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

By July, with the War of the Bounty Hunters mega-crossover in full swing, you might find yourself if the frozen popsicle of Han Solo will really be worth all this trouble or you might be enjoying the shenanigans of this interconnected, multi-series story too much to sweat the small stuff. As the solicitations for July’s Star Wars comics promise (so far, as these are only initial ones via the official site’s blog, so expect updates later this week. Update 4/22: now they’re all in!), there will be tons to get caught up in, from Doctor Aphra and Sana Starros trying to survive one another and a gangster-filled party, Luke Skywalker having more Force visions, a deep-dive into the Emperor’s inner circle, and so much more; head below to see what to expect! ~~Continue reading “Star Wars Comics July 2021 Solicitations” →~~

Star Wars Comics June 2021 Solicitations

Posted on March 17, 2021March 19, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

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!

Star Wars Comics March 2021 Solicitations

Posted on December 24, 2020January 21, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

It’s crazy to think March means it’s been one year since the COVID-19 pandemic’s threat was beginning to become clear and lockdowns began, though they ended far too shortly. Star Wars comics took a break shortly after, the lockdowns affecting shipping and setting the industry back by months, but they’ve been arriving in a steady stream once distribution began again. In March of 2021, the Star Wars comics solicitations offer plenty of content to look forward to, from Leia Organa and Kes Dameron swapping love stories, spooky shenanigans in The High Republic era, Aphra and Sana overcoming their differences potentially, the return of the Crimson Corsair, and more so head below to check them out!

The idea of 2021 finally being here has likely been the wish of many people, and while it won’t completely turn around everything that’s transpired in 2020, it’s a beacon of hope that maybe things can start to get better. Also a beacon of hope? The Starlight Beacon the High Republic Jedi set up in the Outer Rim, as January brings us the official beginning of The High Republic initiative! Beyond that big comic release, Aphra and Sana’s big meet cute finally arrives after being delayed, Shara Bey looks to step up in a big way, Vader and Ochi keep dueling, and Padmé is stuck rescuing Anakin (again) after their latest date night goes sideways. Head below to see what January Star Wars comics to expect in 2021! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics January 2021 Solicitations” →

Posted on September 17, 2020January 21, 2021 by Head Butler Ryan

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. Things might be a little different this year, unfortunately, but you can at least count on some great tales in the galaxy far, far away thanks to Star Wars comics! 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.
