Publisher summary:
The situation on board Axil Research Station is dire! Water floods the base as the Jedi try desperately to stop the structure from sinking into the monster-infested depths. Amidst the rescue efforts, Kit Fisto increasingly suspects that this disaster is no accident, and that the perpetrators may still be on board the station…

Why it matters: Jedi Master Kit Fisto reminds us that comics should be adventurous and fun. There’s nothing better than watching a wise-cracking Jedi take care of business.
Key moments:
The Smiling Jedi: Kit Fisto’s meme-worthy smile in Attack of the Clones has become the backbone of his character. His upbeat attitude and jokes under pressure are a riot.
Saturday Morning Fun: The story, pacing, and humor are right out of a classic kid’s cartoon. George Mann nails the feeling of goofy, off-beat adventure that woke us up early every weekend.
Monsters Unleashed: While the conspiracy to destroy Axil Station heats up in this issue, the high point is a fight between Padawan Nahdar Vebb and a colossal beast 100 times his size.

The big picture: Have you ever wondered what would happen if you crossed Star Wars with Scooby Doo? Well George Mann has figured it out. From quips and fast-paced action right down to a bad guy being unmasked, Tides of Terror has all the trappings of a vintage cartoon. While the big villain reveal doesn’t make a big impact, that’s hardly the focus of the comic. Instead, readers will be addicted to the big action and hilarious character interactions. This genuinely may be the perfect all-ages read for any Star Wars fan.
Our rating: Incredible
What’s next: Tides of Terror wraps up with issue #4, hitting shelves on January 7th, 2026.
