This week's Star Wars comics are varied in tone and story yet encapsulate pretty much everything we enjoy about the medium. In The High Republic -- Trail of Shadows #3 (of 5), the mystery of what's killing the Jedi deepens as the need to find what IT is and counter it takes on an urgent priority.
In Darth Vader #19, flashbacks abound as Vader takes Valance, Ochi and a band of freedom fighters and assassins in the hunt for Crimson Dawn infiltrators in the Empire.
In news, there's March solicits, including the new Han Solo & Chewbacca series.
