Talk to your comic book store to put in your order (after checking out the exclusive art reveals in this post, of course!)

For light and life! It's time to pre-order Star Wars: The High Republic #1

It’s hard to believe that Phase III of Star Wars: The High Republic is already upon us. Issue one of the Marvel ongoing, written by me with art by Ario Anindito and Jim Towe, goes on sale Wednesday 8th November! Keep scrolling to see some EXCLUSIVE art reveals from the first issue!

Contact your comic book store today!

To make sure you don’t miss issue one, it’s best to put a pre-order in with your local comic store. Pre-orders are vitally important for comic books and can make or break a series even before the first issue goes on sale.

The final order cut-off date (FOC) for Star Wars: The High Republic #1 is this coming Sunday, 8th October so please, please, please contact your local comic book store today!

Official preview

If you want to know more about phase III then check out this interview with me over on the official Star Wars website including a special preview of the first few pages! Keeve is still troubled by the fall of Starlight one year later!

A sneak peek!

Plus, as a special thank you for pre-ordering, I thought I’d share a couple of pages from the first issue. The first is the debut of the Republic Longbeam Gios named after a much-missed Jedi hero of Phase 1.

And from the light of the Jedi, we slip into darkness, with a special audience with Skarabda the Hutt. But what is the Nihil Envoy hoping to achieve?

Want to find out more? Then talk to your local comic book store today to pre-order Star Wars: The High Republic #1 before the FOC this Sunday!

How else can you help?

As well as pre-ordering, it would be amazing if you could spread the word. Let your friends, family and, well, pretty much everyone else know that it’s Final Order Cut-off this Sunday.

Here’s a handy graphic you can use on your social channels:
