Star Wars Legends Death Troopers SC
(Author) Joe Schreiber (Publisher) Del Rey
Now for the first time in trade paperback: the chilling tale of the undead in a galaxy far, far away. When the Imperial prison barge Purge-temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy’s most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves-breaks down in a distant part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back-bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine. And death is only the beginning.

Star Wars Legends Death Troopers SC
(Author) Michael Reaves (Publisher) Del Rey
After years of waiting in the shadows, Darth Sidious is taking the first step in his master plan to bring the Republic to its knees. Key to his scheme are the Neimoidians of the Trade Federation. Then one of his Neimoidian contacts disappears, and Sidious does not need his Force-honed instincts to suspect betrayal. He orders his apprentice, Darth Maul, to hunt the traitor down. But he is too late. The secret has already passed into the hands of information broker Lorn Pavan, which places him right at the top of Darth Maul’s hit list. But how can an ordinary man, stranger to the powerful ways of the Force, hope to triumph over one of the deadliest killers in the galaxy?

Star Wars Legends Death Troopers SC
(Author) Michael Stackpole (Publisher) Del Rey
The Rebels have taken the Imperial headquarters world of Coruscant, but their problems are far from over. A killer virus called Krytos is spreading among the population, and fomenting a counter-revolution at the heart of the New Republic. At the same time, Rebel hero Tycho Celchu is on trial for treason, accused of murdering his comrade and fellow pilot, Corran Horn. Corran, however, is still alive but trapped in the secret inescapable prison of Ysanne Isard, the imperial officer whose reputation for torture and cruelty have earned her the unofficial moniker ‘Iceheart.’ As he fights for his freedom, the pilot discovers an extraordinary power in himself-the power of the Force!

Star Wars Thrawn Ascendancy SC
(Author) Tomothy Zahn (Publisher) Del Rey
For thousands of years The Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. Led by the Nine Ruling Families, their leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions. But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe that winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. To ensure the Ascendancy’s future, Thrawn will delve deep into its past, uncovering the dark secrets surrounding the ascension of the First Ruling Family. But the truth of a family’s legacy is only as strong as the legend that supports it. Even if that legend turns out to be a lie.

Star Wars Comic Book FOC Deadlines
For those who aren’t familiar, FOC, or Final Order Cut Off, is when publishers and distributors require retailers to get their orders in. Printers then print according to that number (sometimes with overages). So, if you want to absolutely guarantee you get a book, best bet is to order it before FOC. Final Order Cut Off is Monday 8/1/22 this week.
Let’s dive in…
Star Wars: Visions #1
UPDATE: FOC for this is September 12th not August 1st. I was either looking at the wrong date or huffing paint when I added it. Apologies.
