A new era of The High Republic is upon us, and Marvel has announced that it will launch its own contribution to Phase III of Lucasfilm’s multimedia storytelling initiative this November as writer Cavan Scott and artist Ario Aninditio reunite for a new volume of the publisher’s flagship Star Wars: The High Republic title.
“I’m over the moon to be returning to our original High Republic characters as we reach the climatic final phase of the publishing initiative,” said Scott. “I’m particularly excited to be working with Ario Anindito again as well as to welcome Jim Towe to the art team. Their work is truly stunning! I can’t wait for readers to see it for themselves!”
