Comics With Kenobi

A tender side arises in the pages of Doctor Aphra (Vol. 2) #39 in an ending that made us proclam: "Dammit, Alyssa!"In Darth Vader (Vol. 3) #41, the Dark Droids event coalesces nicely into the foundational character building that Greg Pak has been doing since the first issue. The High Republic Phase III #2 (of 10) sees Keeve Trennis deftly balance herself between two enemies as the issue lets loose with a reveal guaranteed to drive High Republic fans into paroxysms.The Revelations (2023) one-shot provides a satsifying look forward to what to expect in 2024, including the hopeful return of a certain morally ambivalent archeologist, along with a classic crime gang from Marvel's '77-86 run of Star Wars comics. (And yes, there is a Thrawn preview.)
