Agreed. I was wondering myself who exactly was on the cover of Path of Vengeance - The Mother or Marda…?
Ok ty oh wise one
That looks like the Mother. I wonder what vengeance is referring to. The Mother vs. the Jedi or Marda vs. the Mother.
or both!

It’s actually Marda, as confirmed by the cover artist Corey Brickley.
You see see some of the early concept pieces and reference photos on their Twitter thread here:

Wild. I guess that implies Marda is getting some vengeance.

Looking forward to it! 
I agree. I think Marchion is in Yana’s line. Mainly because I think Marda is going to be a martyr that kicks off why the Ro’s truly hate the Jedi.

Not a fan of Ewoks, so I’ll subscribe next issue. Hopefully have a surprise Ashoka cover!
Thanks for posting though!

For Star Wars High Republic fans this is definitely worth a watch. There are teasers for aspects of phase 3 which starts later this year.
Although some of phase 2 hasn’t blown me away, I think there will be a renewed interest in all things High Republic when we come back and pick up the story after Fallen Star.
I really can’t wait to find out what happened after phase1 ended.
Here are a couple of pics that look intersting.

That’s apparently a new character on the cover of issue #2.

I’ve been going through the phase 1 completist reading order that someone put together on Reddit, which requires re-reading the comics as they fit it. Sooo much better.
Also, I highly recommend the audio-drama, Tempest Runner which gives a great origin story of Lourna Dee and also captures where she’s at following Rising Storm and Out of the Shadows. If you can, use Libby to check out the audio-drama and the script from your local library digitally. Reading the script as the drama unfolds adds another layer to it.
If you can, read Light of the Jedi and Rising Storm at the very least before checking out Tempest Runner. There is a lot of relevant backstory between Lourna and Pan Eyta, and the dynamic between Marchion Ro and the Tempest Runners in those two main novels.

Does shadows of starlight have any ratio variants? I haven’t seen any advertised making sure I didn’t overlook.
Yup, there’s the Marquez 1:25 (featuring only Soleil Agra on the cover) and the 1:100 Noto virgin variant
