Welcome back! Next week is a massive week for Star Wars comics. The new comics next week look fantastic and there are some future keys that are hitting their FOC (final order cutoff) on Monday.
On September 14th we get Star Wars Bounty Hunters #27, the final issue of the Star Wars: Obi-Wan mini-series, Star Wars Insider 213, and the Star Wars Vol 4 Crimson Reign TPB for the main Star Wars run.
Monday’s FOC deadline includes the new Marvel Star Wars High Republic #1 by Cavan Scott, Star Wars Visions #1 by Takashi Okazaki, and Star Wars #28 by Charles Soule.
Both The High Republic #1 and Star Wars: Visions #1 are guaranteed to have multiple first comic appearances and the arc that includes Star Wars #28 is shaping up to be a good one.
If you haven’t already grabbed pre-orders yet you can see every variant for every book below.
Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi #5 (of 5)
(W) Christopher Cantwell (A) Adriana Melo (CA) Phil Noto
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.

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 9/12/22 this week.
Let’s dive in…
