Star Wars: The High Republic #2

Three Jedi charge forward against a backdrop of jagged crystal spires on Ario Anindito's vivid cover — a red-skinned Togruta wielding a brilliant blue lightsaber leads the way, flanked by a white-haired young alien and a bearded human Knight whose green blade cuts through the gloom behind them. The second chapter of Cavan Scott's "Balance of the Force" arc promises more of the galactic adventure and diverse cast that make the High Republic era feel so alive. If issue one left you hungry for more, this 2023 Marvel series is delivering on that promise in fine style.
