As we prepare to explore the High Republic era in live-action with the upcoming Disney+ series The Acolyte, Dark Horse Comics has announced an all-new – and all-ages – adventure as part of Phase III of the Lucasfilm publishing initiative with Star Wars The High Republic Adventures – Echoes of Fear.
Written by George Mann (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Nameless Terror) with art by Vincenzo Riccardi (Firefly) and colors by Michael Atiyeh (Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic), the four-issue limited series launches in August, with the synopsis reading:
Jedi Knight Reath Silas and Jedi Padawan Amadeo Azzazzo are charged with delving into the Jedi Archives to learn more about the mysterious Echo Stones and their Force-amplifying powers. Their journey will ultimately lead them outside the safety of the Jedi Archives into a perilous adventure. In their search, they uncover the dark legend of the ancient Sith Lord Darth Ravi, and his quest to solve an ancient puzzle that could grant him power beyond all-imagination… or destroy him.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – Echoes of Fear #1 will go on sale on August 21st 2024.
