Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch–Rogue Agents #1 delivers some fun action

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch–Rogue Agents #1

The Bad Batch is back! When a Separatist scientist and his dangerous invention go missing during the Clone Wars, Clone Force 99 is sent to track him down and prevent the device from falling into the wrong hands. But when Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Tech arrive at the scientist’s abandoned laboratory, they quickly realize that they aren’t the only ones on his trail . . . and that this mission will be different than any that they’ve faced before! Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch–Rogue Agents #1 kicks off with some fun action and potentially solid rivals for the Bad Batch.

Written by Michael Moreci, Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch–Rogue Agents #1 feels like it’d make a perfect animated film or series. The team is on a mission to find a scientist, it just so happens there’s another unit of Troopers on the same mission. Why is there two? That’s part of the fun.

Moreci delivers a nice debut that’s packed with tension, mystery, and action as the story gets rolling. It’s a solid read, even for those that might not be familiar with the Bad Batch or even Star Wars. That’s because Moreci keeps it focused and simple. The issue isn’t packed with Star Wars jargon, planets, or concepts, it’s just straight up two crews going after the same target. It’s a plot that has been done many times before but it’s been done many times because it works. Even with a limited introduction to this new unit, we quickly figure out their personalities as the Bad Batch’s own shines.

The art is good. Reese Hannigan with inks by Elisabetta D’Amico, color by Michael Atiyeh, and lettering by Tyler Smith and Bobby Bradford deliver a comic that looks solid with some great action and fun. It’s a style that feels like it fits with the animated series and even under the armor, you still get a sense of the emotions running as the issue ramps up.

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch–Rogue Agents #1 is a fun debut that takes a familiar plot and slaps the Star Wars universe on it. With characters full of personality, some cool designs, and a lot to play with, the debut issue is entertaining fun that’s great for longtime fans as well as new readers.

Vault Announces Barbaric: The Long Death From Michael Moreci and Nathan Gooden

Posted on by

Vault has announced the return of the beloved and best-selling comic book series, Barbaric, for its fifth story arc entitled, Barbaric: The Long Death. Co-created by Michael Moreci and artist Nathan Gooden, Barbaric: The Long Death, marks Gooden’s return to the series after his tremendously successful work on the smash hit series with Post Malone, Big Rig. Joining Moreci and Gooden are long-time Barbaric collaborators Fabi Marques on colors, Jim Campbell on letters, and Tim Daniel on design. 

BARBARIC loves you! AXE LOVES YOU! And he’s giving you his heart, in the form of The Long Death #1. Our heroes slaughter their way ever closer to the answers to their big questions. Owen learns all about his curse; Soren learns about her curse; Axe gets drunk. The consequences are…BARBARIC.

Barbaric follows Owen, a bloodthirsty barbarian and his drunk axe as they roam an untamed, mythic realm battling supernatural cultists, hungry giants, creatures of the night, and more in their quest to somehow, amidst all this chaos, do some good.

Barbaric: The Long Death #1 hits store shelves in December 2025, and will feature an stellar line of variants from artists Pete Carroll, Jim Mahfood, Luana Vecchio, Corin Howell, and Brett Bean.
