All-Ages Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Comes to Dark Horse in August

Published Thu, 19 May 2022 18:03:10 -0500

Dark Horse's latest press release proudly proclaims Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories as the publishers "triumphant return to a new era of Star Wars comics." And why not? After losing the Star Wars license to Marvel in 2014, Dark Horse watched Marvel farm out an all-ages line to IDW, watched IDW lose that license, and now has gotten right back in the Star Wars game. So they deserve a little victory wrap, and who are we to begrudge them?

Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories, by the way, will be an all-ages anthology series featuring "fan-favorite heroes and villains," with the first story taking place during the prequels, "at the height of the Clone Wars." Go ahead, Dark Horse. Do an entire Jar Jar arc. You've earned it. Plus, Disney is still flexing with those watermarks on the cover. Get yours.

Check out the press release for more details.
