Thankfully, there are new projects on the horizon, including a new comic book series which sounds like it’s set to be a sure-fire hit with fans.
It’s set to bring fan-favourite characters back to the fray. Almost a decade since the Star Wars universe burst onto the comic book scene, some of its most well-loved series, such as Star Wars and Star Wars: Darth Vader, have come to an end.
With such important series finding their conclusions, fans have been speculating as to what they can expect next from Marvel Comics.
Luckily, the future is looking bright.
Last week saw Marvel Comics announce that an upcoming one-shot story was set to release in January 2025.
Titled Star Wars: A New Legacy, it will be the brainchild of many veteran writers and will also welcome back some much-loved characters such as Doctor Aphra and Beilert Valance.
“This is the monumental moment we’ve been waiting for: celebrating a decade of the re-union of Marvel Comics and Star Wars,” editor Mark Paniccia exclaimed.
Valance was one of the first original characters in the initial Marvel run on the Star Wars comics and always looked like Star Wars Punisher. He’s made quite the comeback in recent years but I don’t recall he has trickled over into much other media, yet, but I think it is only a matter of time.
Aphra has been the big breakout hit and will eventually be everywhere (she’s in Galaxy of Heroes, for example) - I’d be shocked if they weren’t planning how to get her into live action.
