Alyssa Wong Heads Back To Star Wars For ‘The Battle Of Eriadu’

After time spent in the wilderness known as “writing for Marvel,” Alyssa Wong is back behind enemy lines with Dark Horse Comics‘s Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures Phase III—The Battle of Eriadu.

“We met Driggit Parse and Gavi Takitaken in ESCAPE FROM VALO,” said Wong via press release. “And followed their individual journeys across DISPATCHES FROM THE OCCLUSION ZONE #2, THE HIGH REPUBLIC ADVENTURES, THE HIGH REPUBLIC ADVENTURES ANNUAL, and ‘Breaking the Mask,’ a STAR WARS INSIDER short story. THE BATTLE OF ERIADU one-shot draws all of these pieces together for the finale of their character arcs. This is a story about how much you’re willing to sacrifice for revenge… and what it means to let go of the ones you love.”

In the one-shot, alongside artist Elisa Romboli and colorist Michael Atiyeh, the Battle of Eriadu will come to a “dramatic cliimax” as the Jedi battle Nihil marauders on the titular planet. Per PR, “On the front lines, two estranged friends find themselves on opposing sides of the battle. Jedi Padawan Gavi fights for light and life, while Driggit Parse sits at the right hand of the villainous Warden. When the two finally meet again after Driggit’s betrayal, the fight around them is an all-out assault; the stakes have never been higher. Can their old friendship be salvaged amidst the ashes of war?”
