The Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories saga from Dark Horse Comics keeps blasting deeper into the galaxy with a brand-new original graphic novel, Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Mace, and Comic Crusaders readers… this one is about to shine a serious lightsaber spotlight on one of the most respected Jedi in the galaxy Mace Windu.
The story comes from New York Times bestselling author Justina Ireland, one of the powerhouse creative minds behind Star Wars: The High Republic initiative and writer of Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III Annual. She’s joined by artist Georges Duarte (Harley Quinn), with lettering by ComiCraft, whose work fans already know from Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Qui-Gon. And visually? The book is topped off with a stunning cover by award-winning artist Michael Cho, capturing the calm, powerful presence of Mace Windu in full Jedi glory.
This standalone Star Wars graphic novel takes readers back to a time before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, when Mace Windu is still a newly-minted Jedi Knight finding his place in the Jedi Order. What starts as a simple diplomatic assignment quickly turns into a full-blown galactic crisis. After mishandling a sensitive mission, Windu is tasked with protecting an alien king hardly the glamorous Jedi adventure he hoped for. But when the monarch is suddenly abducted, the situation explodes into a dangerous rescue mission wrapped in political intrigue, rebellion, and galactic conspiracy.
Now the young Jedi finds himself navigating a world of scheming politicians, ruthless revolutionaries, and escalating tensions that threaten to plunge an entire planet into civil war. With betrayal lurking around every corner, Mace Windu must rely on sharp diplomacy, Jedi wisdom, and some seriously impressive lightsaber skills to uncover the truth before the conflict spirals out of control. Turns out diplomacy in the Star Wars universe can be just as explosive as any battle in hyperspace.
Fans of Star Wars comics, Jedi lore, and Mace Windu stories are going to want this one on their radar. The Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Mace original graphic novel hits bookstores in Fall 2026 with a retail price of $19.99.
You can pre-order now from major retailers like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or support your local comic shop and bookstore. If you’re hunting for a nearby shop to grab your copy, check out Find Your Comic Store or Bookshop.org.
Bottom line, Comic Crusaders crew: if you’ve ever wanted to see Mace Windu before he became the legendary Jedi Master, stepping into danger, politics, and galactic chaos for the first time this Star Wars graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics is about to deliver a hyperspace-level adventure. 🚀
