Stawars.com have announced Marvel’s slate of September 2022 Star Wars comics and there are some heavy-hitters coming our way! The solicits include the premier of the brand new Star Wars Visions comic which continues the story of Ronin from the Disney+ anime series! Based on the teaser page from Monthly Big Gangan #6, it looks like this Marvel comic will be first to publish these characters from the Ronin episode, so we’ll get some Visions first appearances there!
Check out the full solicits from Marvel below and keep your eyes peeled on TFAW for pre-orders to go live!
DrunkWooky analysis: It’s likely we get first appearances of characters from the Ronin’s world. This would include Ronin, his astromech B5-56, and perhaps Kouru. However, Ronin slays Kouru in the anime episode The Duel, so if these are the “conintuing adventures” and an “all new story” it’s less likely she shows up.

STAR WARS: OBI-WAN #5 (OF 5)

- Obi-Wan has closed his journals for now and looks ahead as night falls and the sandstorm that has sequestered him begins to clear.
- But he discovers something unexpected in the hazards of the Jundland Wastes…a squad of ambushed stormtroopers left to die.
- But one still has a fighting chance…and Obi-Wan may very well risk everything to save a single injured imperial stormtrooper that can’t help but remind Kenobi of the clones he served with so long ago.
DrunkWooky analysis: First of all, look at that great Baldeon cover A with those Whistling Birds! Awesome and cover price! Second, check out Jeanty’s adorable cover where Grogu reaches for his favorite toy. Third, things get toasty on Stegman’s cover.
These issues are supposed to follow the episodes shot for shot. So, we should get the first appearance of Paz Vizsla here.
