Marvel’s Star Wars Comic Book Schedule For August 2022 Is Busy

Marvel Comics released its August solicitations last week, and with it the details of the various star wars the titles are expected to hit comic book stores throughout the month.

Given the ongoing supply problems, we still have several backorders from July to Han Solo and Chewbacca #5, Star Wars #26, The Mandalorian #2 and Doctor Aphra #23while newly solicited titles include Bounty Hunters #26, Darth Vader #26, Obi-Wan #4, Han Solo and Chewbacca #6 and Doctor Aphra #24 (the latter two having their release dates pushed back to September).

You can check out all the details for the August releases below, while fans will probably also want to add Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories #1 to their draw list, as Dark Horse Entertainment returns to the galaxy far, far away with an all-new anthology series for all ages.
