Star Wars: The High Republic — Trail of Shadows
A Jedi and a private investigator work a murder case together in the golden age of the Republic, in the only Star Wars comic written as a hard-boiled detective story.
Five issues from Marvel between 13 October 2021 and 9 February 2022, written by Daniel José Older with art by David Wachter, colours by Giada Marchisio and covers by David López. Part of Phase I of The High Republic.
The verdict
The most formally daring High Republic comic: a locked-room mystery in a setting that usually only does sieges.
