Here’s a look at the new Star Wars comic book releases hitting shelves at your local comic shop August 25, 2021! Brought to you by TFAW! Check out the official solicitations and previews for Star Wars comic books coming out this week below!

Next week is War of the Bounty Hunters week in the Star Wars Galaxy! Now, I wrote this a week ago before I went on vacation, so no doubt some cool previews came out yesterday along with some doozies of revelations from the new books! So, wow! What doozies those were, right? If not, disregard that incredulous response.

Now Ochi serves Vader as his most loyal agent during the WAR OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS. Who is Ochi of Bestoon? What are his true goals? And how have the secrets of EXEGOL shaped him forever?

FOC

I wanted to point out issues which have a final order cut off on Monday 8/23/2021. If you’re not familiar, final order cutoff is when the distributor locks orders and the publishers then print accordingly. So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, get your order in before then. Boushh #1 will be the first full appearance of Boushh (not Leia in Boushh’s disguise) after making 1 obscure cameo. Check out our full write up here.
