Return to the Golden Age of the Jedi in Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III

Posted on by

The Force is strong in the latest Dark Horse Comics and Lucasfilm Publishing team-up, beginning with Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase IIIissue #1. In this new comics chapter, the marauders known as the Nihil have claimed numerous sectors of space for themselves. Worlds are trapped in this insidious Occlusion Zone. And so are the Jedi. But is there still hope? Find out in the latest phase of the The High Republic Adventures saga, written by New York Times bestselling writer Daniel José Older, with interior art and cover by Harvey Tolibao and colors by Michael Atiyeh. The issue will also feature a variant cover by Soroush Barazesh.

“Are you here to help us overthrow the Nihil?” 

It has been one year since the fall of Starlight. Padawan Lula Talisola and many others are missing and presumed dead. At the Almohaj Cantina, a Republican Outpost on the planet of Eriadu, Zeen mourns…and waits. When an intriguing transmission is received from Tartak Vil, a warlord on the remote moon of Bracront, Zeen, Qort, and a void-contemplating droid named 5A-G3 must venture once more into hyperspace to repair their fractured team and, perhaps, the galaxy.

In the northern city of T’Karanto, rival gang disputes are at an all-time high. A mechanic named Kyoshi and his grandson Dante stay vigilant amid increased crime, but their strength is wavering. A monthly payment to a local gang for protection provides some ease, but the fees keep climbing. When a customer, a beastie, walks in on a violent shakedown, he gives the thugs a swift beating. However, his impulsive actions just put the largest gang target on his back—and it’s the Kiyoshis who are caught in the middle! Dante steps in to protect what life and family he has left, but what can an 11-year-old kid do against ruthless criminals? As bad decisions pile up, with each choice proving worse than the last, tragedy lands in the spotlight as two unlikely characters are brought together.

Comic artist and writer Soroush Barazesh’s graphic novel series Kings of Nowhere comes to Dark Horse with Volume 1 coming to comic and book shops near you! 

Bili is the son of a notorious gangster, but his quiet and lonesome demeanor makes him an easy target for local thugs. When an unexpected beating takes a ruthless turn, Bili is overcome with intense rage and trauma—transforming him into his chimera form—into that of an ape. As he struggles to cope with his new life, he faces ever growing challenges—from confronting his hatred for his father to learning how to thrive in the unforgiving slums ruled by crime lords and corruption. With the aid of new comrades, Hamed a baboon and Zatoichi a blind monkey, Bili embarks on a life of purpose—a life of cold, unapologetic vengeance against each of those who have taken a piece of him—who he once was . . . and what he will ultimately become.
