Apparently all the Star Wars comics were published today. Six new titles are out this March 1, including Hyperspace Stories, Star Wars, Han Solo & Chewbacca, The Blade, Hidden Empire and The Mandalorian, giving readers a bounty of choices up and down the Star Wars timeline, from The High Republic era to darn near close to the opening refrain of Return of the Jedi.
