Marvel Comics released its August solicitations last week, and with it details of the various Star Wars titles set to arrive in comic book shops throughout the month.
Given the ongoing supply issues, we still have several holdovers from July in Han Solo & Chewbacca #5, Star Wars #26, The Mandalorian #2 and Doctor Aphra #23, while the newly solicited titles include Bounty Hunters #26, Darth Vader #26, Obi-Wan #4, Han Solo & Chewbacca #6 and Doctor Aphra #24 (the latter two having their release dates pushed back into September).
You can check out the full details of the August releases below, while fans are also likely to want to add Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #1 to their pull list, as Dark Horse Entertainment returns to the galaxy far, far away with a brand new all-ages anthology series.
