Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

While it’s only been since August of last year the final story of the main The High Republic era came out, it feels even longer, not only due to all the real-world events, but mainly because 4 years of nearly non-stop releases to nothing has been a bit of a shock. But “Phase More” is here and it kicks off with Dark Horse’s The High Republic Adventures: Pathfinders #1, written by George Mann with art by Partha Pratim & Jagdish Kumar, a return to the era’s usual form with some intriguing mysteries that any fan can jump into.

Comic News: Doctor Aphra Returns for New Republic Hijinks, Kit Fisto Miniseries Announced

Posted on by Head Butler Ryan

It should be no surprise to Manor visitors that I’m a giant Doctor Aphra fan, to the point she’s my favorite character. Since her superb, emotional, and memorable second series by writer Alyssa Wong, beyond a cameo appearance and flashback stories since it ended, fans have been waiting (and I’ve been theorizing like crazy) to learn when the rogue archaeologist would return. The wait is over, as she’s back this June with Marvel, fitting considering it’s Pride Month, with a new writer/artist team! Dark Horse also revealed a new miniseries focusing on the Jedi with a smile, Kit Fisto, which will hit shelves starting in July. Head below for more about Aphra’s return and Fisto’s series!
