December is here to kick off a new week of Star Wars comics. We continue the maxiseries with the next entry and also get a brand new trade paperback out just in time for the holidays!
This Week in Star Wars Comics, it's The Battle of Jakku — Republic Under Siege #3!
The Battle of Jakku — Republic Under Siege #3
The rampant Imperial warlord Ubrik Adelhard continues his battle against the fledgling New Republic. Lando Calrissian challenges these remnants head-on, but it might be too late for the heroes. Losses begin to mount as an assassination occurs on the planet of Chandrila, and one of the good guys is taken out. The only hope might be that someone is hunting Adelhard, but are they friend or foe?
The Battle of Jakku - Republic Under Siege #3 is written by Alex Segura, illustrated by Stefano Raffaele and Alex Sinclair, and the cover artist is Taurin Clarke.
Star Wars Vol. 9: The Path of Light
There is one trade paperback out this week, and it's Star Wars Vol. 9: The Path of Light. This is a collection of the final issues of Charles Soule's 2020 Star Wars run, which included the mega issue #50. The final issue became quite the fan favorite as it showed older Luke Skywalker passing lessons onto his nephew, Ben Solo. He spun a story of morals, discussing the heroes debating whether or not to use the deadly weapon, the Grim Rose. This weapon would take out Emperor Palpatine, but it would also kill thousands of other people in the process. Is that much destruction worth the end of the war? You'll have to read to find out.
That's it for This Week in Star Wars Comics! I do want to note that while it's not a comic if you have a young one and looking for something to read, the picture book Someone Who Loves You by Beth Revis and Sophie Li also came out this week. It's an adorable retelling of Leia Organa and Han Solo's wedding! It's definitely one to check out!
