As if the 12 new episodes coming to Disney+ starting February 21 weren’t enough, fans of The Clone Wars animated series will be able to enjoy even more content from that fertile timeline in the Star Wars saga courtesy of a new weekly comic series from IDW Publishing. Titled Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars – Battle Tales, the series (available both digitally and in print format) will consist of five issues penned by Michael Moreci with the first issue set to arrive on April 1.

Disney+ won’t be the only place Star Wars fans will be able to return to the Clone Wars this spring, with IDW Publishing launching a weekly comic book series, Star Wars Adventures: The Clone Wars – Battle Tales. It will run weekly though April.
The series will be a five-issue anthology similar to IDW’s Tales From Vader’s Castle and Return to Vader’s Castle minis, written by Michael Moreci with a framing sequence each issue from Derek Charm (The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, Jughead) as the heroes from the animated series share war stories while pinned down in the middle of the conflict.
Beyond Charm’s contributions, each issue will feature a different artist, with Arianna Florean, Megan Levens, Valentina Pinto, Davide Tinto and Philip Murphy on hand to draw the five issues, respectively.
