General Grievous is back in Star Wars: Dark Horse announces a 2026 comic, Disney+ echoes him

General Grievous is back in the Star Wars conversation. Dark Horse has announced Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: General Grievous for early 2026, and Disney+ has already put a pretty direct thematic successor on screen in Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi.

In the comic, Michael Moreci writes and Caio Filipe handles the art. Dark Horse says the story sends Grievous to the jungle planet Katou during the Clone Wars on a conquest mission. Then Count Dooku’s assignment curdles into a lethal hunt, with Jedi Knight Cardiff Baye and a squad of clone troopers closing in. It sounds like more than a brief battlefield appearance, with the story digging into how Grievous thinks and what drives him.

The Disney+ series doesn’t literally resurrect Grievous, but the resemblance is hard to miss. General Nawaam, a Force-sensitive human leading an anti-Jedi campaign, carries part of that same menace. So does Gennoh, who replaces more and more of his body with cybernetics. They aren’t direct copies, but the Grievous echoes are obvious.

If you’ve kept up with Grievous as the lightsaber-collecting Jedi hunter, this new attention on him is probably worth a look. His 2024 cameo in Star Wars: Tales of the Empire already showed there’s still plenty of interest in the ruthless strategist.

You can watch Star Wars: Visions Presents – The Ninth Jedi on Disney+, and Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories: General Grievous arrives from Dark Horse in early 2026.
