Welcome back my furry friend! Today I’m going to share every comic that is coming out on September 21.
First up is Star Wars: The Mandalorian #3 which is the first appearance of Paz Vizsla in a traditional comic. There are also two different store exclusive variants that are tied for the first cover appearance of The Armorer. Mike Mayhew’s was limited to 800 copies and sold out almost immediately so you’ll have to the eBay route for that one.
The other is a variant by Ken Lashley for Jolzar Collectibles, Slab City Comics, and Devil Dog Comics that included a Trade Dress variant (Limited to 3000) and a Virgin Variant (Limited to 1000) that I believe sis still in stock. The links to the stores are below.
Next is Darth Vader #27. This issue has some interesting covers. Cover A is a very cool piece of art by one of the best in the business, Rahzzah. Cover B by Giuseppe Camuncoli has the first cover appearances of Anakin’s childhood friends, Kitster and Wald. And the Choose Your Destiny Variant by Christopher Sprouse has the first canon appearance of Darth Bane on the cover. Darth Bane’s first full appearance (non canon) was in Star Wars: Jedi vs Sith #1.
Since I’m a time traveler I got an early look at both issues.
Monday’s FOC includes Star Wars: Darth Vader #28 and has what may be the creepiest cover I’ve ever seen on a Star Wars comic. Also, Star Wars Epic Collection: The Rebellion Vol 5 has it’s cutoff date Monday as well. Scroll down to see those as well.
If you haven’t already grabbed pre-orders yet you can see every variant for every book below.

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 9/19/22 this week.
Let’s dive in…
