NEW: Star Wars: Ahsoka Season One Marvel Comics Variant Checklist
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – Saber for Hire by Cavan Scott and Rachael Stott. The first issue of four in this Ty Yorrick centered mini-series by Dark Horse Comics. I think Ty Yorrick is one of the most compelling characters in all of the High Republic. She’s a former Jedi turned space witcher (monster hunter) and I think that’s a perfect concept for a television show. Excited to check this one out.
Star Wars: Mace Windu #3 (of 4) by Marc Bernardin and Georges Jeanty – In the 2nd issue of Star Wars: Mace Windu there were a few first appearances. Diya, Muro, Bishop, and Yaya Shram. Yaya Shram is an Anzellan (Babu Frik’s species) and is on the Wachter variant for this issue.
It’s notable that many of the first appearances in issue #2 were only one page. I’d consider that a first appearance first but the market may like issue three more since they’ll likely play a larger role. The solicit also implies that this is the issue that “introduces” some of the characters from issue 2.

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 4/15/24 this week.
