February was one of the last normal months for comics last year, as the pandemic halted many things as it swept through the nation, and while it still rages, in some cases worse than it was earlier in the year, it looks like comics won’t be stopping again anytime soon. However, February is a quieter month for Star Wars comics, as Doctor Aphra takes a month-long break, but otherwise the adventures of Starlight Squadron, with Wedge Antilles and Shara Bey in charge, continue, as does the earliest issues of Marvel and IDW’s entries in The High Republic initiative!

2020 was meant to be the start of so many new things, a new decade and the relaunch of Marvel’s many Star Wars comic series, but we all know what happened next. The relaunch came and was abruptly delayed, but many months later the entire first arc of the Star Wars series’ relaunch, “The Destiny Path,” found its way to comic shelves. Dealing with the fallout from The Empire Strikes Back, “The Destiny Path” feels like an organic continuation of the story, but it also contains glimmers of where it plans to take us next, all while containing writer Charles Soule’s deft ability to combine past, present, and future for memorable and surprising moments.
