This is the one we’ve all been waiting for! Whether you knew it or not, this preview delivers a lot of what you’ve been looking for from Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn recently!
First, we get a character named “The Archivist” emerging from a Sith AND Jedi holocron. Apparently, the tales told from this holocron change depending on the side of the Force you use to access it from! Next, we get some dialogue from Qi’ra explaining her view of the galaxy, the premise for Crimson Reign, and what her motivations are. This is more than mere exposition. Her take on the galaxy and her goals are truly an intriguing development in Star Wars lore!
Finally, her rogues gallery from War of the Bounty Hunters #5 is in attendance to hear all this and we get some names, at least names to the groups they are part of. 616 Comics and Comics Elite claimed yesterday that this issue will be the first full appearance of a new character named Sear and so far she’s present as a part of Chanath Cha’s “Orphans”. Time will tell if she has more than the previous cameo she had in War of the Bounty Hunters #5.
As we reported before, The Archivist, Sear, Imara Vex, and a number of other yet unnamed members of this rogues gallery made their first unnamed cameo appearance in War of the Bounty Hunters #5.
