Book of Boba Fett Comic Returns Cobb Vanth in 2026

Marvel Comics is publishing a new chapter of Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett in late 2026. The upcoming sixth issue, scheduled for release on November 25, 2026, will bring back fan-favorite character Cobb Vanth and revisit the future of Grogu.

League of Comic Geeks indicates the new issue will be expansive. Alongside Boba Fett, the story features a large cast including Din Djarin, Grogu, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker, and the bounty hunter Cad Bane. The narrative will juggle multiple threads, with one focusing on Cobb Vanth's return and another examining Grogu's pivotal choice.

Cobb Vanth Confronts Cad Bane

Cobb Vanth's return is a central draw for the comic. His story was left unresolved in the Disney+ series The Book of Boba Fett after he was shot by Cad Bane during a confrontation. The veteran bounty hunter left Vanth's fate uncertain. The official preview for the comic issue promises a "chilling standoff" between the two, suggesting their rivalry will be a major focus.

Vanth first appeared as the marshal of Mos Pelgo in The Mandalorian, wearing Boba Fett's old armor. His brief clash with Cad Bane in the live-action series left many fans wanting more. The comic, written by Rodney Barnes with art by Will Sliney, aims to deliver that continuation. The 40-page issue is priced at $5.99 USD and carries a January 2027 cover date despite its November 2026 release.

Grogu's Path Revisited

Din Djarin also returns in the comic, delivering a gift for Grogu to Ahsoka Tano. This setup brings Grogu's critical decision back into focus. In The Book of Boba Fett, Grogu was training with Luke Skywalker but ultimately chose to leave his Jedi path to rejoin Din Djarin, a choice that directly influenced The Mandalorian Season 3.

The comic preview questions whether Grogu will stay with Luke or remain with Din. Supporting characters like Ahsoka, Luke, and R2-D2 are involved, giving Marvel a chance to examine Grogu's choice from another perspective. This storyline ties back to the wider cast of the Disney+ series, including Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, and Black Krrsantan.

Release Details and Cast

The issue combines these two major storylines, offering fans a significant new chapter set in the era of the original series. Below are key details about the original The Book of Boba Fett series, as listed in the source.

The series was created by Jon Favreau and produced by Lucasfilm. It followed Boba Fett and Fennec Shand as they navigated the criminal underworld on Tatooine. The new comic continues that story, arriving on November 25, 2026.
