Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #23 (Vol. 3)

– Spoiler Review –

Does Sabé really know that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader?! Not only is the answer to that question an interesting part of Darth Vader #23 (Vol. 3), but even more faces from Vader’s past add new wrinkles to the equation. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #23 (Vol. 3)”

Star Wars Comics August 2022 Solicitations

With less than a week before Star Wars Celebration Anaheim 2022, here are the August Star Wars comics solicitations, which include the beginning of Dark Horse’s return to the Saga with their all-ages input! Most of the issues in the solicitations will actually hit in August, as it seems the delays are back under control for now, but a few issues from prior months are scheduled to come out in August 2022 as well, so I’ve made sure to reference them too. Otherwise, feast your harvest-season eyes on T’onga’s final bid to save Cadeliah from Qi’ra’s Crimson Dawn, the next glimpse of Obi-Wan’s past, Chewie behind bars (again, but like can’t he just bend them?), and Darth Vader facing his most feared enemy…sand??!!?

Star Wars Comics July 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-July-2022-Solicitations

July is set to be a refreshing month for Star Wars comics, as many of the current series’ reach their 25th issue mark, closing out storylines and beginning new ones…well, if they actually come out in July. Unfortunately, the global issues with shipping, printing, and paper are still affecting comics and many of April, May, and June’s have slipped into different months, with several from June and even May releasing in July now. So these issue below likely won’t be out in July due to the landslide effects (maybe August?), but they are exciting looks at where things will go once the Star Wars comics get there. Check out “July’s” Star Wars comic solicitations below, where we see Sana Starros leading a crew to rescue Aphra (?!?), the chaos Qi’ra unleashes on the galaxy, a deadly mission during the Clone Wars for Obi-Wan, and more!

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #22 (Vol. 3)

Darth-Vader-22-2020-Review-MynockManor

– Spoiler Review –

Darth Vader #22 (Vol. 3) finds the Dark Lord playing both sides to achieve his goals for order within the Empire…but is it really the Sith Lord who’s using everyone or is someone else using him? Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #22 (Vol. 3)”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #21 (Vol. 3)

Darth-Vader-21-2020-Review-Mynock-Manor

– Spoiler Review –

With Sabé’s return, the third volume of Darth Vader comics feels refreshed, as her mere presence puts the story in hyperdrive and sets up for more interesting confrontations that delve into Vader’s psyche, allowing Darth Vader #21 (Vol. 3) to push through this somewhat meandering arc. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #21 (Vol. 3)”

Star Wars Comics May 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-May-2022-Solicitations

Look, everyone fights about whether May the Fourth or May 25 is the actual Star Wars Day, but why argue over semantics when we could have a whole month?! Star Wars month?! That’s what May should be, as far as I’m concerned, especially with this excellent list of comics full of potential and surprises, while the premiere of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show happens as well! For May’s 2022 Star Wars comics solicitations, there’s the beginning of the new Obi-Wan comic, tons of characters returning to the lives of Han Solo and Darth Vader, Chelli Aphra is in big trouble and I’m stressing out about it (what’s new!), and so much more! While there’s only a preview for one of the covers (Peach Momoko’s Obi-Wan variant), May also hosts a Japanese Variant Cover spread, which brings well-known Japanese artists to Star Wars for a series of variant covers, so there’s that to look forward to as well! Head below for all the details! UPDATE 4/13: There’s a lot of delays happening at the moment, so many of May’s issues have slipped into June and beyond, with April‘s delays falling into May. Hopefully this doesn’t get any worse. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics May 2022 Solicitations”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #20 (Vol. 3)

Darth Vader #20 Review Mynock Manor

– Spoiler Review –

After the last few issues haven’t quite caught my interest, Darth Vader #20 (Vol. 3) brings a familiar yet exciting spark to Vader’s search for the Crimson Dawn amongst their mist, giving me some hope for the future of the series. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #20 (Vol. 3)”

Star Wars Comics April 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-April-2022-Solicitations

April 2022 comics bring many surprises for the entire Star Wars comics run, from the Knights of Ren ransacking Vader’s Castle for Qi’ra, Han finding more twists on his latest heist, the promise of only one survivor on Dr. Aphra’s latest quest, and so much more. There’s still no word on when Dark Horses’ contributions will begin (besides some The High Republic related content in October), so it’s all Marvel below. Check out Star Wars comics’ April 2022 solicitations now! UPDATE 4/13: Several of the comic release dates have changed, with a few slipping into May, June, and even July. Continue reading “Star Wars Comics April 2022 Solicitations”

Star Wars Comics March 2022 Solicitations

Star-Wars-Comics-March-2022-Solicitations

March’s Star Wars comics in 2022 sadly take a break from the High Republic era, as its first Phase ends earlier in the year, and goes all in on its post-The Empire Strikes Back push, as Qi’ra’s galaxy-brain plans explore her operatives’ pasts, the Rebellion Fleet reunion enters its final leg, Aphra returns to her…university, maybe, and so much more. Plus, March sees the start of a new series, Han Solo & Chewbacca, which promises a final page reveal you won’t want to miss…so I break down some options below. Check it all out! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics March 2022 Solicitations”

Star Wars Comics February 2022 Solicitations

February’s Star Wars comic solicitations look to be dominated by The High Republic’s Phase I finale content, so much so I don’t think any amount of chocolates on Valentine’s Day will help with the fallout. Cataclysmic and galaxy-shaking events reverberate throughout all High Republic content, while Sabé returns to haunt Darth Vader’s life, the Star Wars hotel tie-in has some exciting faces to explore, and a few of January’s issues slip into the month. Check them out below! Continue reading “Star Wars Comics February 2022 Solicitations”
