While some of the covers were announced at Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023, Marvel just dumped the rest of the Star Wars Comics hitting shelves in their August 2023 comic solicits.
The most notable newcomer for August 2023 is Star Wars: Dark Droids by Charles Soule. In it, droids across the galaxy are going batshit crazy due to something Ajax Sigma has planned. This is an official crossover so Doctor Aphra, Bounty Hunters, Darth Vader, and the main Star Wars runs will all tie into the story.
Other things of note:
- Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 2 #3 will likely be the first full comic appearances of Bo Katan, Ave Woves, and Koska Reeves.
- Star Wars: Yoda #10 is the finale for the 10-part Yoda series.
- We’re getting a Max Rebo one-shot and I support it whole heartedly.
That’s all for now you kriffin moof milkers. Go check everything about below.
UPDATE: Pre-orders for August Star Wars books and comics are live here. See the full catalog.
