Marvel's The High Republic phase III returns with the first issue of Fear of the Jedi and it's a doozy. An expansive story that sets the stage for some intriguing developments through its five-issue run and, much to our joy, editor's notes throughout that refer not to just previous Marvel Comics, but those Dark Horse and even the books!
The Ahsoka adaptation concludes with the eighth and final issue of the mini-series in a lavishly illustrated story that sees Ezra return home and Ahsoka and Sabine prepare for a new leg of their respective journeys.
