This Week in Star Wars Comics: Doctor Aphra double crosses Luke Skywalker!?

Are you managing to get through this scorching heatwave? Since summer can be unbearably hot, it’s the perfect time to conquer the heat by diving into an engaging Star Wars comic instead. There’s no need to brave the outdoors! Instead, kick back in your air-conditioning and immerse yourself in this week’s offerings featuring a potential (though perhaps foreseeable) act of treachery, some intriguing lore, and anticipation for next week’s installments!

Let’s get into it.

This Week in Star Wars Comics, it’s Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent #2.

It’s quite possible that old behaviors persist. Doctor Aphra, joining forces with Luke Skywalker, embarks on a quest to retrieve a significant artifact for the New Republic. This artifact holds immense worth and could fetch a substantial sum in the volatile black market. Will Aphra betray Skywalker for financial gain? Only time will tell!

In simpler terms, “Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent #2” was penned by Cherish Chen, featuring artwork by Gabriel Guzman, and boasting a cover by Ejikure.

Star Wars Modern Era Epic Collection: Yoda’s Secret War

This week, a trade paperback titled “Star Wars Modern Era Epic Collection: Yoda’s Secret War” was released. It consists of stories from Jason Aaron’s 2015 “Star Wars” series. In this narrative, Luke Skywalker delves into the journals of Obi-Wan Kenobi to uncover a perilous mission that Jedi Master Yoda undertook. This collection spanning nineteen issues is not to be missed!

Looking forward to the upcoming week, there’s an intriguing series finale on the horizon: “The High Republic – The Finale,” also known as “The Beacon.” This marks the conclusion of the initial phase of The High Republic initiative. But fear not, this is merely the end of the beginning, with many more tales yet to unfold in the future! However, next week will see the culmination of five years’ worth of storytelling for this chapter, and it promises to be a captivating spectacle you won’t want to miss.

It’s a mix of joy and sadness for me as a follower of The High Republic, witnessing its final chapter unfold. This expansive project has brought us cherished characters from blockbuster books and comics, not to mention the acclaimed series like “Young Jedi Adventures” and “The Acolyte,” both Emmy-nominated. It’s done an outstanding job in terms of representation, which fans have wholeheartedly embraced. I eagerly await to see where The High Republic journey takes us next.

That’s it for this edition of This Week in Star Wars Comics! See you in the splash pages!
