CBR can exclusively reveal Georges Jeanty's variant cover for Marvel's Star Wars: The High Republic #8.
Written by Cavan Scott with art by Ario Anindito, the issue will see Avar Kriss and her team of Jedi battling the deadly Drengir. As for Jeanty's variant cover, it sees Keeve Trennis prepared to do battle with one of the massive beasts singlehandedly.
The Drengir, first mentioned in Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #2, is a species of carnivorous plant-like beings with massive tentacles. Their first proper appearance was in 2020's Dark Legends and they've played a prominent role in the High Republic comics and novels.
The High Republic takes place 200 years before the Skywalker saga, in the golden age of the Republic. Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott and Charles Soule are all attached to the project, which crosses between Disney-Lucasfilm Press, IDW Publishing and Marvel Comics. The interconnected story begins when a massive hyperspace disaster sends space debris hurtling toward inhabited worlds, forcing the Jedi to step up and protect the Republic. In doing so, they encounter the villainous Nihil, a group of space marauders who may have a connection to the inciting incident.
