The Force is with fans in 2015.

 

A long time ago with a publisher that’s very different from what it is now…there were Star Wars comics.

 

Decades later, Marvel is owned by Disney, Lucasfilm is owned by Disney.

 

At the Cup O’Joe panel at San Diego Comic Con, Marvel announced an all-star roster of creators for brand new Star Wars comics coming next year.

 

Star Wars #1 by Jason Aaron and John Cassaday coming in January. The book will be set after the destruction of the first Death Star.
