This year we have already seen some massive gains for Star Wars Comics because of characters showing up in the Mandalorian from Disney+ and there are no signs of the price spikes slowing down. Already this season we have seen Boba Fett's return, Bo-Kahtan's live action debut (the same actor for both the cartoon and live action character), and now we all expect to see Ahsoka Tano this week! With the introduction of Dark Troopers (Advanced battle droids whose technology they used to build Darth Vader) there is no telling who we are going to meet next. One thing is for sure, any Dark Horse Comics #1 Star Wars Comic should be on your radar. Here are seven that have seen some big gains this last week. Click the links and check out where these books are at now. Some are going to shock you!
