Peach Momoko's Star Wars Visions one-shot is a true masterpiece in form, style and storytelling, wordlessly conveying the past, present and future across pages and pages of electrifying illustrations.The Dark Droids event burns its way through the mini-series' namesake fourth issue and into the pages of Doctor Aphra #38, delivering a blow to the bodies of all involved, none more than Chelli Aphra herself in a deluge of body horror and, yes, introspection. The Mandalorian Season 2 #6 provides a faithful adaptation chapter 14, with art that's lushly rendered (though the Razor Crest got short-changed!)Comics Discussed This Week:The Mandalorian Season 2 #6 (17:06)Star Wars Visions: Peach Momoko #1 (20:08)Dark Droids #4 (of 5) (24:35)Doctor Aphra (Vo. 2) #38 (40:30)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Star Wars #37News: Charles Soule, in his November newsletter, says to read Dark Droids #5 (Dec. 27) before Star Wars 41 (Dec. 6) so as to not spoil how the latter ends.The High Republic Adventures comic being sold with the Stellan Gios lightsaber hilt is a reprint of IDW's High Republic Adventures 2021 annual with a new cover by Harvey Tolibao.Marvel's Black History Month variants in February are all by Ken Lashley and feature Kawlan Roken, Bell Zettifar and Ember, Mace Windu, Captain Panaka and Adi Gallia.Looks like the "Logo" variants for January's Marvel Star Wars comics are each series' respective logo.The High Republic Phase III Vol. 1 TPB, collecting 1-4 is slated for release June 18.The Mace Windu TPB is set for release on Aug. 6.

The High Republic Phase III begins in earnest with the first of what appears to be a 10-issue maxi-series from Marvel and it pulls no punches as now-Jedi Master Keeve Trennis takes the fight to the Nihil, though with fatal results. In Shadows of Starlight #2, Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann take center stage as their respective response to the Starlight Beacon disaster take them down different paths. Lord Vader takes the fight Coruscant and Palpatine, much to the Scourge's delight, in Darth Vader #40.Comics Discussed This Week:Darth Vader #40 (5:30)Shadows of Starlight #2 (of 4) (15:45)The High Republic Phase III #1 (39:30)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Dark Droids #1 (of 5)Yoda #10 (of 10)News: Marvel's The High Republic Phase III will be a 10-issue maxi-series.Artist Cherriielle is doing a variant cover for The High Republic Adventures Phase III #3 due out Feb. 14.Upcoming Star Wars comics, graphic novels and omnibuses:Nov. 14 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Vol. 8 (Collects Star Wars: Empire 5-6, 8-13, 15; Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron 1/2; Star Wars: A New Hope Special Edition 1-4; Star Wars: Tag & Bink Are Dead 1; material from Star Wars Tales 1, 6, 8-10, 12, 14, 16, 19)

After months of hype, the Dark Droids crossover event kicks off with a remarkly well-paced and genuinely disturbing (it's a compliment) Dark Droids #1 by Charle Soule, Luke Ross, Alex Sinclair and VC's Travis Lanham. It's a robust start to the five-month event.Hyperspace Stories #7 by Michael Moreci, Andrea Mutti, Gigi Baldassini, Vallerio Alloro and Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt features the series' totem and gives readers a look at a Boba Fett in the process of maturing. Yoda #10 concludes the maxi-series in an exhilarating conclusion that offers up a few cross-media surprises (TV and books!) in a coda by Cavan Scott, Ibraim Roberson, Neeraj Menon and VC's Joe Caramagna for the long-lived Jedi master who's borne a heavy burden since enabling the Galactic Republic's descent into dictatorship and the destruction of the order he was so dedicated to.Comics Discussed This Week:Hyperspace Stories #7 (08:23))Dark Droids #1 (18:08)Yoda #10 (41:17)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4)News: New Printings for Star Wars Legends Epic Collections Rise of the Sith (Vol. 1), The Empire (Vol. 1), The New Republic (Vol. 1) and The Old Republic (Vol. 1) are due in 2024The third and final TPB of Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories from Dark Horse Comics will collect issues 9-12 and is due out, per the publisher, on April 17.

Greedo takes center stage in a delightly charming, and oddly dark, story in Hyperspace Stories #6 that helps explain how he became part of Jabba's court and ultimately graduated to bounting hunting. In Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #4, we treated to three stories about Vader, including a hauntingly creepy story about his return to Hoth. The Mandalorian Season 2 #2 deftly adapts the second episode of The Mandalorian's second season.Comics Discussed This Week:The Mandalorian Season 2 #2 (11:15)Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #4 (of 4) (15:55)Hyperspace Stories #6 (30:56)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Sana Starros #3 (of 5)Yoda #6 (of 10)News: The Bad Batch is coming to Dark Horse's Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #10 on Oct. 25.
