Episode #368 -- Shadows of the Night

The High Republic Phase III begins in earnest with the first of what appears to be a 10-issue maxi-series from Marvel and it pulls no punches as now-Jedi Master Keeve Trennis takes the fight to the Nihil, though with fatal results. In Shadows of Starlight #2, Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann take center stage as their respective response to the Starlight Beacon disaster take them down different paths. Lord Vader takes the fight Coruscant and Palpatine, much to the Scourge's delight, in Darth Vader #40.Comics Discussed This Week:Darth Vader #40 (5:30)Shadows of Starlight #2 (of 4) (15:45)The High Republic Phase III #1 (39:30)Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:Dark Droids #1 (of 5)Yoda #10 (of 10)News: Marvel's The High Republic Phase III will be a 10-issue maxi-series.Artist Cherriielle is doing a variant cover for The High Republic Adventures Phase III #3 due out Feb. 14.Upcoming Star Wars comics, graphic novels and omnibuses:Nov. 14 _ Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Empire, Vol. 8 (Collects Star Wars: Empire 5-6, 8-13, 15; Star Wars: X-Wing Rogue Squadron 1/2; Star Wars: A New Hope Special Edition 1-4; Star Wars: Tag & Bink Are Dead 1; material from Star Wars Tales 1, 6, 8-10, 12, 14, 16, 19)
