Description

Rodney Barnes returns to Star Wars comics with his second series this year, adaptating the Ahoska Disney+ TV show. Though it, like the prior Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi adaptations, is a word-for-word telling of the series, the artwork by Steven Cummings, Wayne Faucher and Rachelle Rosenberg and letters by VC's Travis Lanham makes this issue, indeed this eight-issue mini-series, worth having.

Zeen and Lula come to a momentous decision, albeit independently of one another, in The High Republic Adventures Phase III #7 by Daniel José Older, Harvey Tolibao, Le Beau Underwood and Elisabetta D'Amico, Michael Atiyeh and Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt. Readers are also treated to a new member of the Tarkin (yes, that Tarkin) family as Krix Kamerat takes a major gamble.

Comics Discussed This Week:
  • Ahsoka #1 (5:39 )
  • The High Republic Adventures Phase III #7 (10:28 )
Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:
  • Star Wars (Vol. 3) #48
