Dark Horse Comics today announced two new series in the Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures line.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III—Crash Landing
The fight for Light and Life wages on in Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III—Crash Landing, a one-shot comic presented by Dark Horse and Lucasfilm Publishing. The 30-page story follows Alys “Crash” Ongwa and her ragtag crew, and is written by New York Times bestselling author Daniel José Older (Star Wars: The High Republic), with art by Rachele Aragno (Leonide the Vampyr), colors by Michael Atiyeh (Conan The Avenger) and letters by Comicraft.
Alys “Crash” Ongwa and her crew have been fighting against anyone who had a hand in the Nihil infiltration that plunged her home planet of Corellia into chaos. If they don’t continue to fight, everything they sacrificed for could slip away. Now, Crash has a lead on the person behind the entire Nihil plot— but she’ll have to rely on some old friends for help. If her crew can accomplish this mission, could true peace be on their horizon?
“Crash and her wild outlaw team of bodyguards are some of my favorite Star Wars characters to write,” says Daniel José Older, “and I’ve had this story about how they deal with the aftermath of war inside me for a long time, trying to get out. I’m so excited to be able to tell it now with this amazing team, and rest assured we haven’t heard the last of Crash and her crew.”
The Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III—Crash Landing one-shot will be available at your local comic shop on March 20, 2024, for $5.99.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures—Saber for Hire
Dark Horse Comics and New York Times bestselling writer Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic), sensational artist Rachael Stott (Star Wars: The High Republic—The Monster of Temple Peak), and letterer Comicraft (Conan, Wolverine) present an action-packed, emotional adventure in a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures—Saber for Hire explores the age of the High Republic, the golden era of the Jedi Order set long before the Skywalker Saga. Fan-favorite character Ty Yorrick, the former Padawan turned freelance monster hunter, returns to the page for the third time with friends and foes from the past, all threatening the near-perfect life she has built away from the Jedi.
“We’re thrilled that Cavan and Rachael are reuniting to continue Ty Yorrick’s story, and what a story it is,” said Michael Siglain, Creative Director, Lucasfilm Publishing. “Saber for Hire is filled with adventure, horror, and heart. Ty has left the Jedi Order far behind and has fully embraced her role as a monster-hunting saber-for-hire—or has she? As we’ll see, Ty is key to the larger battle between the marauding Nihil and the monstrous Nameless—she just doesn’t know it yet.”
“I am really excited to be teaming up with Rachael Stott once again for more Ty Yorrick adventures.” Said Cavan Scott. “Saber For Hire takes place in The High Republic’s dramatic third phase when the anarchic Nihil have annexed a vast area of Republic space. Former Jedi-turned-monster hunter Ty and her apprentice Drewen are trapped behind enemy lines and having the time of their lives hunting beasts and making a small fortune. Well, Ty is having the time of her life. Drewen is feeling sidelined and wants more from their partnership. As Ty faces a nightmare from her past, Drewen steps out on his own. What could go wrong, right?”
