Canon Comic Review: The High Republic Adventures – Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone #2

– Spoiler Review –

The Jedi Order sending ancient EX droids to communicate with the galaxy behind the Nihil’s Stormwall wasn’t always going to go smoothly, as while the first on Eriadu made it into Jedi hands, the other finds itself with the Nihil, in the hands of ambiguously-sided Driggit Parse. Can Crash Ongwa and former Jedi Ruu get it back? Find out why the answer is far more complicated than that in our review of Alyssa Wong’s entry for The High Republic Adventures: Dispatches from the Occlusion Zone #2!

Star Wars Comics January 2025 Solicitations

January is usually a time of new beginnings for most people, especially as they start their attempts at New Year’s resolutions (which I believe in you, you can do it!), but for Marvel and mostly Dark Horse Star Wars comics in January 2025, it’s more about endings. On Marvel’s side, their big The Battle of Jakku maxiseries meets its climactic titular battle, Ewok adventures end, and the publisher looks back at their 10 years of comic legacy (which means I’ve been reviewing comics for 10 years now here and I’ll have to unpack that later). For Dark Horse, there’s finales to Echoes of Fear and Tales from the Occlusion Zone, while their main THRA series marches towards the era’s end, but they also bring something new: a Bad Batch miniseries! Head below to check out January 2025 Star Wars comics solicitations now!!

Comic News: Battle of Jakku Maxiseries Announced, New High Republic Covers Revealed

Ahead of the SDCC publishing panel on July 25, the official site decided a few reveals were in order, starting with our first glimpse of what’s to follow this current era of comics: The Battle of Jakku maxiseries!
