Marvel

War of the Bounty Hunters #4

(W) Charles Soule; (A) Luke Ross; (CA) Steve McNiven

THE WAR CONTINUES! The true machinations of the theft of HAN SOLO from BOBA FETT become clear, as one-time love of Solo QI’RA has returned her terrifying criminal organization, CRIMSON DAWN, to the galaxy. Qi’ra used Han to bring the most powerful players in the galaxy together, and now the pieces are moving toward their endgame. DARTH VADER, LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, VALANCE, APHRA, THE HUTTS – all are vying for the ultimate prize, while Boba Fett’s stuck in the middle, a simple man just trying to get what’s his! Rated T

Doctor Aphra #14

(W) Alyssa Wong; (A) Federico Sabbatini; (CA) Sara Pichelli

‘REPEAT OFFENDERS’ DOCTOR APHRA and SANA STARROS are imprisoned by a POWERFUL ENEMY! If they want to escape, they’ll have to work together with former foes JUST LUCKY and ARIOLE… And venture deeper into the heart of a CRIMSON DAWN FLAGSHIP! Rated T

Sprouse Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Variant

High Republic #7, Jedi Wayseeker, Orla Jareni and Darth Krall’s first appearance gets a second printing as well. This is the first cover appearance of these dark side statues from the Amaxine station from Claudia Gray’s novel, Into the Dark. They made a first appearance in an info page in High Republic Adventures #6.

IDW

Star Wars Adventures #9

(W) Michael Moreci; Vita Ayala (A) Michael Avon Oeming; Devaun Dowdy; (CA) Francesco Francavilla

Mace Windu and his Lightning Squadron land on the planet Ridlay, which has gone mysteriously dark, expecting a Separatist attack. But what they find instead is a surprise to them all. Then, Boba Fett makes his Star Wars Adventures debut as he clashes with Han Solo in the time before Episode IV!

We brought this up yesterday, but the Francavilla cover art for Star Wars Adventures #10 has been revealed and it connects with #9! So, you’ll have to grab both now!

Viz Media

Edge of Balance (Manga) Vol. 1

(W) Shima Shinya, Justina Ireland (A/CA) Mizuki Sakakibara

Edge of Balance Vol. 1

I wouldn’t discount this book just because it’s Manga. The Edge of Balance FCBD issue already revealed a couple first appearances, Jedi Master Arkoff (an awesome Wookiee Jedi Master), Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi, and Jedi Master Stellan Gios (Lily made an unnamed one page cameo in HIgh Republic Adventures #3 (IDW), and Stellan made his first unnamed cameo at the end of HIgh Republic 1, then a single panel named hologram cameo in High Republic 6).

I think there is more to come in the 120 plus pages of this volume!

FOC

I wanted to point out issues which have a final order cut off on Monday 9/6/2021. 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.

Star Wars Adventures #10

We already discussed how Francavilla’s covers for 9 and 10 connect, but this book is significant for another reason. The brother/sister protagonist duo from the 90s YA novels, Galaxy of Fear will make their first comic appearance here! This could be a brand new era dawning for Star Wars horror!
