Episode #348 -- Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)

The second volume of The High Republic Adventures comes to a stirring end with issues 6, 7 and 8, leaving readers with a resonant message of being true to one's self while ensuring that others are cared for.

Darth Vader: Black, White & Red #3 features three tales that showcase the fury and fanaticism of the Sith Lord by a murder's row of writers, artists, colorists and letterers.

In Doctor Aphra #33, an ancient evil is encountered in a puzzle-laden issue that brings to mind the film "The Keep."
