Canon Comic Review: The High Republic Adventures #1 – Phase II

Posted on November 30, 2022December 29, 2022 by Head Butler Ryan

– Spoiler Review –

Of the many highlights from the first Phase of The High Republic initiative was the story Daniel José Older cooked up in his IDW comics series, The High Republic Adventures, which centered around Padawans and a smaller scaled story of their connections and struggles throughout the Drengir and Nihil conflicts. Older returns with The High Republic Adventures – Phase II via Dark Horse and the same pedigree is already present, this time introducing us to a younger incarnation of Phase I character Sav Malagán and her own struggles with being part of the Jedi Order.
