Following the announcement that Dark Horse Comics will return to publishing Star Wars comics, it has been revealed that Star Wars: Rebels will be receiving a trade paperback later this year. The upcoming release will collect comics from Star Wars: Rebels Magazine.
Although Dave Filoni has been famously credited to the success of The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian, he is also responsible for Rebels.
