Welcome to the weekly new Star Wars comics post where I break down all-new comics & books coming out next week, November 22nd, 2023. As all Star Wars comics with a final order cutoff next Monday, November 20th!
Let’s do it.
UPDATED: Star Wars The High Republic Phase Three Reading Order & Comic Checklist
Star Wars Hyperspace Stories #11 by Michael Moreci and Andrea Mutti – The is the 2nd to last issue of this 12 part series from Dark Horse comics. While the first few issues were kind of slow I feel it’s really picked up since issue #4 and I’ve really enjoyed this series. This issue will be about Mace Windu and Yoda fighting the Seperatists. I’m genuinely looking forward to figuring out what the hell is going on with that Wookiee stuffie and why force users are so obsessed with it.
The Mandalorian Season Two – Part One Vol 3 TPB – This is the first trade paperback for the season two comic adaptation of The Mandalorian and collects issues #1-4.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #40 by Ethan Sacks and Davide Tinto – With Bounty Hunters coming to an end with Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #42 I’m interested to see what happens with the current cast of characters. I’d imagine that some will die but of those who survive, will they be added to another existing series?
UPDATE: All New Star Wars Comics Announced For February 2024
Star Wars: Dark Droids – D-Squad #3 by Marc Guggenheim and Salva Espin – The return of R2-D2’s girlfriend QT-KT! QT-KT was originally in the Clone Wars and is a pink astromech that used to belong to Aayla Secura. And R2 has a thing for her. It’s ridiculous. But in a good way. Her first appearance is in Star Wars Adventures #12 (2020). This issue is where the D-Quad finally fully teams up to take on the Scourge instead of fighting each other. I love both the John Tyler Christopher Action figure with BT-1 and the Reilly variant with QT-KT.

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 11/20/23 this week.
