GAMORA #5

DOOMSDAY ON UBLIEX! As the black hole begins to tear UBLIEX apart at the seams, GAMORA has her eyes on the only thing that can save her: the last remaining piece of the Elemental Crystal. If she can steal it back from L'Wit, then hijack and jumpstart a spaceship before the city is destroyed, she may just have a chance to survive. But time is running out, and L'WIT, KLAXON and the VESTIGIALS are all standing in her way… The clock is ticking, so Gamora better hit the ground running…

Happy anniversary, Star Wars!

STAR WARS: THE SCREAMING CITADEL #1

“THE SCREAMING CITADEL” — PART 1 Rebel pilot and rogue archaeologist wander side by side into the darkest shadows of the galaxy as Luke Skywalker reluctantly teams up with Doctor Aphra! The Doctor makes Luke an offer he can’t afford to pass up…one that leads him to a very rare gathering at the heart of the infamous Screaming Citadel. Will Luke find what he’s looking for? Can Aphra be trusted? Or will they both wind up victims of the Citadel’s Queen?

Obi-Wan and Anakin #1

Anakin Skywalker is leaving the Jedi Order. No, wait, this isn’t the story you know, this is the one that happened an even longer time ago, in a galaxy we know all too well. It is several years after Obi-Wan Kenobi pledged to teach Anakin the ways of the Force, and young Skywalker is restless. He trains incessantly. He asks too many questions. He programs a practice module to fight like the Sith Lord who slew his friend Qui-Gon, and the ghostly not-quite-right interpretation of Darth Maul haunts the Jedi Masters who observe.

Far away in the depths of space, a distress signal is heard, and Obi-Wan and his angry charge are dispatched to aid whoever sent out the call. The planet they arrive at is a swirl of chaos and light. There is a fight; there is a war. There are never enough answers. All the Jedi can do is help those they can, and it’s not enough for Anakin. (It will never be enough for Anakin).

“He was a good friend,” Obi-Wan Kenobi said of Anakin in A New Hope. Here, in Charles Soule’s stellar words and Marco Chechetto’s unbelievably gorgeous art, I believe we will see what he meant.
