The series recently took to the leap to the Battle of Jedha at the end of issue #4, meaning over the course of a month readers will get to see how the ongoing story folds into the cataclysmic events of the Forever War that has been central to phase 2 storytelling.

Sadly, distribution problems have delayed practically every issue of The High Republic Adventures over the course of its run, but the journey is almost complete and a special release like this doesn’t hurt in making it feel like a big deal.
