Follow former Jedi turned saber-for-hire monster hunter Ty Yorrick in her first comic appearance in this all-new High Republic miniseries by Cavan Scott and Rachael Stott!
Ty is a brave yet superstitious monster hunter, traversing the galaxy with KL-03 and her trusty rune-stones fighting the deadliest monsters on any world. After dealing with an escaped Drewen being transported to the Republic Fair, Ty heads to Loreth, where local pioneers have tasked her with taking on the fearsome Gretalax that terrorizes them. She takes the mission but can't shake the feeling that something is amiss with the Force.
If you're on the fence about the High Republic era, pick this book up and give it a try. It's a nice introduction to what's happening at this point in time in the Star Wars galaxy, without drowning you with information. Stott's artwork is, as always, a treat. Read Full Review
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures " The Monster of Temple Peak #1 is a great start to this four-issue mini-series. It's easy to follow and has a main character that is unique and intriguing. It's the perfect starting place for new readers with an interest in the Star Wars: High Republic era, but are not familiar with that particular time period within the Star Wars timeline. Of course, fans and current readers of the High Republic stories will enjoy this as well. Although IDW has made it clear that these comics are focused on reaching a "younger reader" audience, in this reviewer's opinion, this is a story that can be enjoyed by Star Wars fans of all ages.

A Force sensitive monster hunter tracking down alien beasts around the galaxy? Yes please. Read Full Review
Being a major prequel fan and somebody who is hates the sequels and is skeptical of the High Republic era so far, I found this pleasantly surprising. I found the idea of ty being a saber for hire interesting given that it seems like something the council would be opposed to which may explain why she traverses the galaxy with her droid alone. Don't know but I am looking forward to learning her back story.
A good start. I found Ty Yorrick interesting in The Rising Storm and I'm excited to learn more about her.
