As the High Republic publishing initiative draws closer to its conclusion, there are still plenty of stories and loose ends to complete. One of which I wish wasn’t coming to an end is the manga series Star Wars – The Edge of Balance. This series has been a shining light for this entire project. Taking full advantage of its medium, this manga has provided gorgeous art, interesting character studies, and awesome revelations that it’s a shame to see it end.

After a solid start in issue #1, Star Wars: The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents makes a splash with issue #2. Hot on the heels of an on-the-run agent from Coruscant, Clone Force 99 make their way to the planet Kessel. There, they encounter the masked criminal alongside the bounty hunter Embo, who is also looking to capture the target. Written by Michael Moreci with pencils by Reese Hannigan, both the story and art department deliver a thrilling and action-fueled issue.

In case you missed it, Amazon has shared the upcoming Star Wars manga titled Star Wars: Path of the Lightsaber will be released on November 11 of this year. Flying under the radar, the listing also provides a new synopsis of the story. Created by Kenny Ruiz, Path of the Lightsaber takes place during the sequel trilogy era and sees new character Nioka discovering a lightsaber, as well as other forces seeking to take it from her.

In last month’s issue of The High Republic Adventures, I remarked that the series was losing steam as it went further into the Battle of Eriadu. With so many plotlines, various characters to keep up with, and not as much character drama, issue #15 was a bit of a mess to follow. Unfortunately, issue #16 of The High Republic Adventuresfollows along a similar vein.

In the previous issue of The High Republic Adventures, I praised the comic as its climactic Battle of Eriadu commenced. Thanks to insanely detailed art by Harvey Tolibao and compelling drama between the core cast of characters, I was excited for the final part of this series. Unfortunately, as the battle takes a step forward, the quality takes a step back in The High Republic Adventures #15.
