The latest sojourn into the High Republic Era of Star Wars was actually a weird comic that I was completely unprepared for! When it appeared in my feed, I didn’t know what it was.

Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: Crash Landing was a shock. I try not to read any advance news on what the upcoming issues of the comic series will be after I subscribe to them digitally, so I was completely caught off guard by this minor detour.

As someone who loved Daniel Jose Older’s Phase I novel Midnight Horizon, I knew exactly who Alys “Crash” Ongwa was when she and her crew appeared. I liked her in that book, and it was good to see her here.

I like the way the story tied into the main plot of The High Republic Adventures. It managed to bring in new characters to continue that story while also expanding the story.

I really like Crash as a character, and I dug the way that Raven Aragno drew them in this book. In fact, I liked the art throughout the book.

And, hey! This particular story will continue in August in Crash and Burn! I’m not sure how many regular books in The High Republic Adventures series will come out by then, but I can’t wait. I love this comic.

You can pick up the comic here.
