I don't get how comic book releases are decided. Even when I used to manage a comic book store, we sometimes looked at certain release dates and questioned what the corporations were doing. This Week in Star Wars Comics, there are no single issues out. However, next week has a whopping 5 titles. Why not spread them out so you always have a little bit of Star Wars all the time? I do not understand it.
However, at least we get our second manga of the month out today! There is also a trade paperback from The High Republic. So, let's get into it.
This Week in Star Wars Comics, we have The High Republic: The Edge of Balance, Vol. 4
