Here’s our guide on how to get caught up with the onungoing Star Wars comic book saga from the Marvel relaunch until today.Īs part of the massive publishing program of novels, YA material and comic books set in an era hundreds of years before the movies - a time when the Jedi were in their prime - Marvel has published a number of High Republic comic books, each one advancing the larger storyline in significant ways while still working as standalone stories in their own right. Whichever way you prefer to read comics, we’ll have you covered here by listing both volumes and issue numbers of story arcs wherever possible. There are two different ways to read and collect Star Wars comics: you can go issue by issue, most accessible on digital resources such as ComiXology or Marvel Unlimited, or you can check out trade paperbacks, which collect a number of issues in one convenient volume. But the heart of the comics are an interwoven series of multiple books and intricate crossover storylines set during the original trilogy, which can be difficult to follow if you haven’t been on board for the past seven years. Some of these self-contained volumes are among the greatest Star Wars has to offer, like Charles Soule’s 2017 Darth Vader series, or Charles Soule’s Poe Dameron, or… pretty much anything by Charles Soule.

Many of these titles are designed to be enjoyed on their own, telling a self-contained story against the backdrop of Sith, smugglers, Jedi and Jar-Jar. Since 2015, Marvel has been publishing some of the most exciting stories in the Star Wars galaxy ever told, set across every era of the franchise. If you’ve been showing up to opening weekend of every movie and tuning in for every new episode on Disney+, we’ve got news for you: you still might be missing the best Star Wars stories being told right now.
