This week in Star Wars comics, we wrap up March with the Obi-Wan Kenobi adaptation taking its bow, The High Republic gets a one-shot, and we peek into April to see what's coming next month. Let's get into it!

The High Republic Adventures: Crash Landing

Fans of The High Republic have been waiting for the one-shot The High Republic Adventures: Crash Landing. Alys "Crash" Ongwa has become a fan favorite character ever since she and her crew first arrived in the back half of Phase I and were a prominent part of the novel Midnight Horizon. Following the novel's events, Crash has sought peace for the planet of Corellia after it was attacked and has a lead to make that happen for good. The one-shot is written by Daniel José Older and illustrated by Rachele Aragno and Michael Atiyeh.

Obi-Wan Kenobi #6

The Obi-Wan Kenobi adaptation comes to a close with issue #6, covering the events of the final episode of the miniseries. These comic adaptations are fun if you want to see your favorite shows in a different art style. They rarely add anything new, though still neat for people who like to collect these. Jody Houser writes Obi-Wan Kenobi #6 with illustrations from Salvador Larroca and the cover artist is Phil Noto.

Two new series coming in April

Two new titles are coming in April along with the current ongoing series. First up is the latest entry from The High Republic, with the return of ex-Jedi turned monster hunter Ty Yorrick. Only this time, with the villainous Nihil trapping much of the Outer Rim behind their Stormwall, Ty is now a saber for hire. She'll save people... for the right price. The High Republic Adventures – Saber for Hire starts on April 17.

The other big title starting in April is Star Wars: Darth Maul Black, White, and Red. In this horror-inspired comic, Darth Maul is tested as he faces the dangerous cult, the Final Occultation. In the dead of space with no one coming for them, Maul must navigate a prison ship and not lose his mind in the process. Darth Maul - Black, White, and Red arrives April 24.

That's it for March! Come back next week when we break into April in This Week in Star Wars comics.
