Comics With Kenobi #45 -- Han's Captain Now & Hera Leads the Leaders

It's a pair of powerful stories as both Marvel and IDW Publishing's Star Wars comics deliver potent writing that ties into ongoing events in Star Wars: Rebels and builds a bridge to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Writers Kieron Gillen and Devin Grayson have penned separate yet equally weighted missives on on what it means to lead and be led in the pages of Star Wars #42 and Star Wars: Forces of Destiny -- Hera.

In news, checkout the interviews that action-figure variant cover artist John Tyler Christopher did with Wookiee Radio and listen to Marvel editor Heather Antos on the new Steele Wars podcast episode that was recorded live in New York.
