Canon Comic Review: The High Republic – The Blade #1

Porter Engle’s legendary lightsaber status has been a part of his backstory since we’ve met him, and while he’s had a chance to show it off, what was he like in his younger, non-chef focused years? And how did he earn the name “Blade of Bardotta?” As one of the most anticipated Phase II projects, Charles Soule’s miniseries The High Republic – The Blade #1 doesn’t disappoint, as it kicks off the exploration of Porter’s name defining past by introducing us to a surprise variable: Barash, his sister.

Star Wars Comics June 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-June-2022-Solicitations

Compared to last June‘s Star Wars comics solicitations, 2022 might not have anything as big as the War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, in fact we have a break from Qi’ra’s comic trilogy, but it is packed with issues that should interest fans of all eras. June kicks off The Mandalorian‘s adaptation comic, Qui-Gon Jinn guest appearances in the Obi-Wan comic (and maybe Obi-Wan show!), Chelli Aphra has to battle her memories to escape her latest problems, while Charles Soule digs up tales across his Star Wars comics career for a truly spectacular and epic 25th issue for his current Star Wars run. June will once again have Pride Month variants, though they haven’t been revealed yet and I have some hopes Lucasfilm/Marvel will do a little better this time around (especially in light of everything going on with the company). Head below for all the details on Star Wars comics’ June 2022 solicitations! UPDATED 4/13: There’s been a lot of delays at the moment, so you’ll find a few June comics are actually ones from either April or May…I’ve updated the dates for the original June releases below.
