NYCC is the East Coast’s ultimate fandom mecca, and this year’s show floor delivered enough heat to rival a super-nova. Couldn’t make it to the Javits Center? We’ve got your back—here are the biggest announcements you missed.
-
Hyperspace Stories: Grievous
Dark Horse unveiled the next standalone graphic novel starring everyone’s favorite four-armed cyborg general. Michael Moreci pens the tale; Michael Cho provides the eye-catching cover (and likely interior pages). Expect high-speed dueling, planetary sieges, and a deeper look at what drives a relentless war machine. -
Hyperspace Stories: Qui-Gon Jinn
A split-timeline epic that bounces between Qui-Gon’s Padawan days under Count Dooku and his earliest lessons with young Obi-Wan. A shadowy group known as the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door—first glimpsed in Phase II’s High Republic saga—ties the two eras together in surprising ways. -
Ghost Agents Miniseries
Still reeling from that animated finale? A five-issue prequel comic—written by Michael Moreci with art by Reese Hannigan—drops us back into the Clone Wars alongside the elite squad of misfit soldiers we all fell for. Expect daring infiltration missions and more banter than a cantina happy hour. -
The Crystal Crown YA Novel
Two breakout fan-favorites from The Acolyte aren’t as gone as we thought. Tessa Gratton’s upcoming novel (July 29, 2025) reunites Jecki Lon and Yord Fandar as they protect a remote settlement after a coming-of-age ritual goes sideways. Think coming-of-age meets cosmic horror—wrapped in a buddy-cop bow. -
Hasbro’s New Figure Wave
The Black Series and Vintage Collection just leveled up:
• Six Skeleton Crew characters in premium 6-inch scale
• A retro-styled Jod Na Nawood single card
• A Howler & Sabine two-pack loaded with accessories
• Snow-gear Stormtrooper, Doctor Evazan, and a long-awaited Commander Cody—all with photoreal face printing and collector-grade articulation. -
Jedi Knights Ongoing Series—Coming March 2025
Marvel’s next flagship title, written by Marc Guggenheim, dives into the decades before Episode I. Each issue pairs two legendary guardians on self-contained missions, while a looming galactic threat slowly weaves the stories into one epic tapestry. Expect familiar mentors, fresh Padawans, and moral dilemmas sharp enough to cleave kyber.
That’s a wrap on NYCC 2024’s biggest genre bombshells. With Skeleton Crew set to land this winter and these new comics and collectibles on the horizon, the only thing left to decide is how fast you can clear shelf space.
