Next week’s new comic book day is June 7, 2023 and it’s jam packed with new comics coming our way. I’m excited for every single one of the new comics.
Here’s what Star Wars fans can expect next week:
Star Wars #35 – This will be the first full appearance of Dr. Cuata and the 1:25 Noto Variant will be his first cover appearance.
Star Wars: Yoda #9 – Yoda teams up with Anakin to take down something called a “Megadroid.” The issue will apparently tie into the upcoming Star Wars: Dark Droids crossover event by Charles Soule. The Takashi Okazaki variant is straight heat. As good as it gets for an open order variant in my opinion.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Empire #1 – The empire arrives on the forest moon of Endor as the Death Star looms above. We are so close to Return of the Jedi in this timeline that I can almost taste it. I know for sure there will be first appearances in this issue but what I don’t know is how significant they will be long term.
Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White, and Red #1 2nd Print – New printing for this hyped mini-series featuring art by Peach Momoko. If you like it, get it. I have no reason to believe it will be come a big key or anything. There is also a 2nd print 1:25 virgin variant of the Kaare Andrews variant. The cover art is pretty great on this one.
Check out everything new coming up (including all variants) below and get your pre-orders in over at TFAW.

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, the best bet is to order it before FOC. Final Order Cut Off is Monday 6/05/23 this week.
