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!
