News:

• Marvel's February solicits are out and there's no Doctor Aphra #41. That, combined with the details that the trade for vol. 7 collects 32-40 has us wondering if the series is concluding in January and whether it may return later in 2024.
• Both the Thrawn Alliances and Mace Windu mini-series will be four issues apiece.
• Marvel's Free Comic Book Day issue will be Star Wars/Darth Vader #1 and feature a pair of stories by Charles Soule and Ibrahim Roberson and Greg Pak and Ramon Rosanas that focus on a search for Rebel survivors on Hoth and Sabé's pursuit of Luke Skywalker.
• Dark Horse's FCBD issue is a split issue featuring Qort and Nubs a Young Jedi Adventures tale.
• Crash Ongwa gets a one-shot from Dark Horse on March 20 featuring the crew. It's written by Daniel José Older, with art by Rachele Aragno.
