Star Wars (Marvel Comics)

A list of Star Wars comics done by Marvel Comics under Disney ownership.

Star Wars
Star Wars by writer Jason Aaron, artist John Cassaday and colorist Laura Martin. Star Wars chronicles the days following the destruction of the first Death Star. Discussing the flagship series, writer Jason Aaron tells Marvel.com, ‘Every story is about the characters, and we’ll focus on all the old favorites. There will be big moments for everyone, from Han to R2-D2. But a major part of the narrative will be driven by Luke Skywalker and his journey of discovery, a journey that will decide the fate of the entire galaxy.

Darth Vader
Darth Vader will be pennded by Kieron Gillen with art by Salvador Larroc. The title promises to ‘delve into the psyche of one of the vilest villains of all time’ in the new, ongoing series.

‘Vader’s the sole survivor of the greatest military disaster in history – and a disaster that he definitely had a hand in by letting the rebels escape with the plans for the Death Star. This is not a thing which leaves you in anybody’s good books, let alone the Emperor’s,’ says writer Kieron Gillen. ‘The great thing about this period is what we don’t see on the screen. Vader learns who Luke Skywalker is at some point between the two movies, to choose but one example.’

Princess Leia
Princess Leia by Mark Waid and artist Terry Dodson. Limited to five issues, and fresh from the Rebel Alliance’s victory at the Battle of Yavin, Leia must confront the reality that her homeworld has been destroyed. But in the light of such tragedy, there is always hope. Skilled equally with diplomacy as she is a blaster, witness the rise of one of the greatest heroines in history as she takes her rightful place as one of the Alliance’s peerless leaders!

Kanan
Kanan is an upcoming comic series written by Greg Weisman, and illustrated by Pepe Larraz. It will be published by Marvel Comics, and will be released in April 2015. It is a tie-in comic to the Star Wars Rebels, and focuses on a younger Kanan Jarrus, during his time as a Jedi Padawan, and during the events of Order 66.

Shattered Empire
Shattered Empire is a new comic book series set to start in September 2015. First revealed Friday afternoon on StarWars.com, there's no creative team or plot information available at this time, but the first teaser image, illustrated by "Black Widow" artist Phil Noto, depicts the festive heroes of the Rebel Alliance in midst of the Ewok-filled celebration scene that closed the original trilogy.
