On Milliken's twelfth birthday, their father takes the two girls on an overnight skate down the trench-a coming-of-age ritual to teach them how to fish the frozen river, how to hunt the wild Trenchdogs that wander its frigid banks, and how to give proper thanks to their frozen Gods-The Colden Ones. It's the trip of a lifetime until the girls push beyond the borders of their humble land and awaken the Trench's deadly defender...The Snowman! What follows next is an action-packed story of survival, loss and redemption.

(W) Daniel Jose Older (A) Harvey Tolibao (CA) Nick Brokenshire
An even longer time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the adventures continued for Lula and her fellow Padawans in the Republic's golden age!
The High Republic is an unexplored period in Star Wars history, set hundreds of years before the events of the Skywalker Saga-when the Jedi were at their height, and Master Yoda was much younger and still training Padawans in the field.
It is here that we find Jedi Padawans Farzala and Qort, who are taking a break from the ongoing battle against the dangerous marauders known as the Nihil. As part of a secret mission, they join an aging Jedi Knight on The Vessel to negotiate a peace treaty with the Hutt crime family. Hey, what could go wrong? As it turns out: literally everything.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures is part of a broader storytelling initiative exploring a mysterious, bygone era of the Galactic Republic through comics and prose. Collects Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issues #6-8, the 2021 Free Comic Book Day story, and the 2021 Annual!
