Anakin contends with his rashness while Padmé works to advance the cause of the Republic in the debut of Hyperspace Stories #1, the all-ages comic that marks Dark Horse Comics' return to Star Wars.
In Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #26, readers are treated to a lot of flashbacks to the Prequel Trilogy as Vader contends with a troublesome foe and finds his bond with Sabé deepening.
Finally, Doctor Aphra #23 delivers the utter craziness that the series has become famed for, with the return of several familiar faces and last-page reveal that left us laughing and gasping.
