THE “BAD BATCH” IS UP FOR ANOTHER MISSION IN “HYPERSPACE STORIES”
The experimental Clone Force 99 are not your average clones— they’re the baddest clone troopers in the galaxy! Dark Horse Comics brings the Bad Batch into their first solo comics miniseries, debuting in the Hyperspace Stories line of comic mini-series, Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents. This five-issue miniseries is written by Michael Moreci (Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories, Burning Fields) and illustrated by Reese Hannigan (Black Spot, Terminus), with Elisabetta D’Amico (Black Widow, Cloak and Dagger), Michael Atiyeh (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora) and lettering by Comicraft (Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories—Qui-Gon, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures).
Fans will enjoy cover art by Valeria “Lux” Favoccia (Stranger Things, By A Thread) across the series, and variant cover art by French Carlomagno (The Dead Lucky, Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Volume 1) for each issue.
“I think everyone who knows my Star Wars work knows I love the Clone Wars,” says Moreci. “And the Bad Batch is probably my favorite part of that. They’re just so cool and unique; they’re like 1980s action heroes dropped into the Star Wars universe, and I love that. I’m after that look and feel–it’s going to be a lot of fun, and I’m just thrilled to bring more Bad Batch stories to life!”
The Clones of the Bad Batch have been through some intense missions throughout the Clone Wars and it’s said they have a 100% success rate. But this time, they may have met their match. In Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: The Bad Batch: Ghost Agents, they are on a mission to hunt down the mysterious Separatist ghost agent who executed a daring heist on Coruscant! The thief’s trail leads Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, and Tech to the seediest corners of the galaxy, a place where kingpins and thugs threaten the clones’ mission—and their lives!
