Star Wars: Comics In Canon – The Scourging Of Shu-Torun: Shapeshifters, Saw Gerrera’s Partisans, Queen Trios & More (Star Wars [2015] Vol 9: #62-67) – Ep 61

For ep 61 of Star Wars: Comics In Canon, Mike embarks on the final Star Wars comics written by Kieron Gillen; The Scourging Of Shu-Torun! These comics include another appearance by Queen Trios, as well as The Partisans (Saw Gerrera’s Rebel extremists), Tunga; the shapeshifting clawdite, infiltration, destruction and the death-worshipping Cult Of The Central Isotoper! In the last 10 minutes of this recording, Mike talks about the new Comics In Motion Book Club, what’s coming over the next few weeks of SWCIC, recent guest spots & other suchlike.

This arc is set around 1 ABY (1 year after A New Hope, 2 years before Empire Strikes Back).

All issues were written by Kieron Gillen, with Guru eFX as colour artist and Angel Unzueta as artist on issues 63-67, with Andrea Broccardo as artist on issue 62. Issue 62 was released March 2019, issue 67 was released June 2019 and the trade paperback collection was released August 2019.

Please note this episode was originally released in June of 2021 on the feed of Comics In Motion.

Queen Trios first appears in episode 23 of SWCIC (Vader volume 3) and if you want to check out the previous arcs for the main run of Star Wars comics, check out episodes 9, 13, 19, 21, 27, 36, 40, 44, 48, 53 & 57 of SWCIC!

Check out the last episode of SWCIC where Mike embarked on the first 5 issues of the War Of The Bounty Hunters 34-issue crossover event, which forms “the prelude”! This story takes place just after Empire Strikes Back; carbonite-frozen Han Solo is stolen from Boba Fett on his way to collecting the bounty from Jabba The Hutt and now the whole galaxy is after Solo, including Luke & Chewie, Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra, Beilert Valance, Dengar and many other bounty hunters – this is the crossover event of the decade, so is not one to be missed!
