Star Wars December 2023 Comic Preview: The Dark Droids Finale, The High Republic Phase 3, and More

The last few solicits for Star Wars comics in 2023 are here. StarWars.com has provided a sneak peak into what's to come in December, including what looks to be a finale for the ages for the ongoing Dark Droids crossover, the ramping up of the High Republic's Phase 3 entries, and much more.



Before we dive in, comic solicitations are released so far in advance so local comic book shops can get an idea of what they need to order for their customer base. Of course, they also serve as a good tool for readers to know what's new and exciting in the world of not just Star Wars comics, but from every publisher. Their very nature is spoilers so be aware before going forward.



Depending on your local shop, you still might be able to order comics for October and get them in time. For a refresher on what's coming from Star Wars, you can visit here. In contrast, there should still be time to get orders in for November, but act fast. Here's a quick breakdown of everything coming in November 2023:

• Star Wars #40, November 1st
• Hyperspace Stories #10, November 1st
• Darth Vader #40, November 8th
• The High Republic #1 [Phase III], November 8th
• The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight #2, November 8th
