The mystery is revealed in the 12th and final issue of Dark Horse Comics' Hyperspace Stories, with a heartwarming tale about a Rebel engineer set among the events of the Battle of Endor that brings the series to a solidly satisfying close.
In The High Republic: Shadows of Starlight #3, Bell and Burryaga deal with the fallout of the Nihil operating unchecked while the bulk of the Jedi Order remains safely behind the walls of their Coruscant temple. The final pages see the capture of a Jedi grandmaster, one referred to in The High Republic Adventures Phase III #1.
Bounty Hunters #41 (dammit, Ethan!) provides a fulfilling conclusion for most the book's characters, with just enough doors left open for more adventures down the road as the series barrels toward its January conclusion. (Also, tooka cats. So many tooka cats.)
