Welcome to the Jedi rodeo boys and girls! Yeehaw! We got a peak at a few Star Wars High Republic #6 covers from StarWars.com yesterday and the Phil Noto Cover A depicts Avar Kriss in the midst of domesticating a Rancor! So epic!
No pre-order info yet as the issue hasn’t been solicited by Diamond yet, but keep your eyes peeled on TFAW for the pre-orders to go live!
Avar Kriss’ first cameo was in Rise of Kylo Ren #3 and her first full appearance was High Republic #1.

Illustrated by modern Star Wars comics great Phil Noto, it’s a completely arresting image, both fun and surprising, with an ironic wink at audiences’ first introduction to the creatures; rancors debuted in 1983’s Star Wars: Return of the Jedi , becoming an instantly iconic movie monster when Luke Skywalker tussled with one of the beasts in Jabba the Hutt’s underground pit.
