Zeen and Lula reach a milestone decision in the pages of Dark Horse's The High Republic Adventures Phase III #5 , as the first arc of the comic comes to an end, yet sets up what's likely to be a dynamic run through issues 6-10.
In Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4), the Sith apprentice contends with an almost Lovecraftian-like horror and inner madness that evokes a Guillermo del Toro film. It's dark and trippy and what Star Wars would be like if it were in the Hellraiser universe.
Finally, Jango Fett seemingly makes some headway in his latest job for the Republic, as the plot thickens around the theft of the Hope of Gleen Anselm. Jango Fett #2 (of 4) is the organic prequel to Bounty Hunters and, based on this issue alone, is worthy of being turned into a monthly series.
Comics Discussed This Week:

• Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #1 (of 4) (10:45)
• Jango Fett #2 (of 4) (20:53)
• The High Republic Adventures Phase III #5 (44:20)

Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:

• Bounty Hunters #42
• Obi-Wan Kenobi #3
• The High Republic Phase III #3

News:

• Dark Horse will publish a new, likely four issue, The HighRepublic Adventures mini-series in August. Echoes of Fear is due out Aug. 21 and will be written by George Mann, with art by Vincenzo Federici, colors by Michael Atiyeh and letters by Comicraft's Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt.
• Due out Aug. 28 is the Crash and Burn one-shot, a sequel to the prior one-shot.
• Dark Horse will release The High Republic Adventures Phase III Vol. 2 TPB on Jan. 22, 2025 (collects 6-10).

The adaptation of Thrawn Alliances ends with a cliffhanger and what's surely to be another four-issue mini-series collecting the second half of the Timothy Zahn novel.

Finally, The High Republic travels to Phase II as Tey Sirrek takes center stage in Phase III in a story that provides clarity and romance in The High Republic #6 .
