Comics The High Republic by Cavan Scott (Marvel comic book series)

Thought that was a pretty good final issue for phase I.

Spoiler

It gave Keeve a full arc.

 

Also Cybertron

This was a fine ending.

 

SPOILER for TFS book.

Spoiler

If I remember right in Avar's scene at the end of TFS where she goes running up to Elzar she came in with a group of people. It wasn't just her by herself or just Keeve.

So I would imagine that after that scene with Avar and Keeve other people came in in their own escape pods.

Also it seems the general rule in fiction is if you don't see them die then they aren't dead.

 

Now confirmed - the Volume 3 trade includes the Eye of the Storm mini.

 

Uuuuugggghhhhh

I didn't read that until I "found' it online and later when it was included with the TOTJ Omnibus vol 2.

Thank you now I don't have to track down and buy the comics

 

Don't forget the weekly releases thread -- I've been listing the contents of the TPBs as their release dates come around. Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see in my updates there -- I haven't gotten any feedback since taking over from TTT.

 

Oho, TTT found a willing vic - ahem, volunteer did he?

This one was particularly odd as most listings only gave #11-15 despite the page count. Previews did have the full info, they may be the only ones.

Spoiler: Issue #1 solicit

STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC #1

CAVAN SCOTT (W) • ARIO ANINDITO (A/C)
Variant Cover by JAN DUURSEMA
Variant Cover by MIKE MCKONE
Variant Cover by PHIL NOTO

A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS FOR STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC!

• One hundred and fifty years before the fall of Starlight, another beacon burns bright in the galaxy, a beacon of faith and spirituality. Jedha. The Pilgrim Moon. The Kyber Heart. But tensions are rising in the holy city and dark days are to come.
• Jedi Vildar Mac, a Jedi safe and secure in who he is and what he could be, arrives as Jedha’s fragile peace begins to crumble. But a nightmare awaits…a nameless terror that will become the stuff of legend.

 

Does anyone else think that the Kiffar-Twi'lek Master-Padawan combo is uncannily close to Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura? They even have the same lightsaber blade colors. The Duursema variant cover really drives this home.

 

I like that their Jedi robes are closer to the PT garb, without all the gold trim. It's still odd to me that even the phase 1 mission robes are trimmed with gold.

More Jedha is always good. I want more depth on the spirituality of the place, but it looks like we are once again rushing headlong into conflict.

 

Looks like we're going to see how and why those giant Jedi statues fell over.

STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC #3

CAVAN SCOTT (W) • ARIO ANINDITO (A/C)

Variant Cover by MARC LAMING • Variant Cover by EMA LUPACCHINO

GUARDIAN NO MORE!

• Vildar and Matty at the mercy of the GUARDIANS OF THE WHILLS!
• The truth about Tey Sirrek revealed.
• Terror is about to strike at the Temple of Kyber!

 

Seems like Guardians of the Whills' fashion is rather constant.

Spoiler

So, the Anzati are back? And a Kiffar remembering Anzati murdering the people around him at four years old is pretty much Quinlan's backstory, too. And Vildar's meeting his Twi'lek Padawan...

 

Im not familiar with this kind of darksider, but I’m glad non-Sith ones are showing up.

A good way to have some dark vs light side in the High Republic era without using Sith, since a Jedi can’t encounter a Sith and live to tell the tale in this era.

If anyone was going to drag the Sorcerers of Tund into canon, it was going to be Cavan Scott. A shiny nickel says he goes all the way and this one turns out to be Rokur Gepta himself.

 

I wonder how old the Sorcerers are in canon.

Certainly they are pre-High Republic.

Im curious how long they will last, I suspect they are extinct by Phase 1

 

Spoiler

Interesting that there seems to be some conflict between the jedi and the guardians here, they were described as friendly or even reverant elsewhere. Maybe we will see how that relationship was forged in the first place.
