Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: Saber for Hire #4 | Comic Review

We’ve waited for nearly four months, but Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: Saber for Hire # 4 is finally here!

This wraps up Ty Yorrick’s latest starring miniseries in The High Republic Adventures following Phase I’s The Monster of Temple Peak.

I’m glad my memory is pretty good, or I probably would’ve forgotten what this story was about with the huge gap between the third and fourth issues.

The story went to where the breadcrumbs were leading with Ty facing down her former master Cibaba. He allowed Baron Boolan to experiment on him, turning him into one is the Children of the Storm. Somehow, this allowed him to be regularly around a Nameless without suffering the effects.

Meanwhile, Drewen saves Chancellor Lina Soh’s son Kip and his boyfriend but then requires some saving of his own when attacked by Cibaba’s Nameless. I love that Kip returned to save Drewen by running into it and knocking the Nameless off of the cliff. Honestly, it made me chuckle.

I thought the ending resolution was positive and a good step forward for this series in the all ages book.

Saber for Hire is a fun adventure and is definitely the better of the two miniseries about Ty Yorrick. Check it out.
