Marvel Comics has announced plans for Star Wars: Revelations, a new one-shot issue that promises to offer readers a startling glimpse at what's to come next year in Star Wars comics.
Back with more surprises than ever this December, it comes after last year's effort - also titled Star Wars: Revelations - prepared fans for a dramatic year of Star Wars sagas, including putting the pieces in place for the current crossover event, Star Wars: Dark Droids.
We're hearing that this year will be no different thanks to a giant-sized instalment packed with the first appearances of major players, and new twists and turns across all of Marvel's Star Wars line.
The stories told will be crafted by an army of current and upcoming Star Wars talent including writers Marc Guggenheim (Star Wars: Dark Droids - D-Squad), Charles Soule (Star Wars, Star Wars: Dark Droids, Star Wars: The High Republic - Shadows of Starlight), Greg Pak (Star Wars: Darth Vader), Alyssa Wong (Star Wars: Doctor Aphra), Ethan Sacks (Star Wars: Bounty Hunters), Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic Phase III), and Marc Bernardin.
The star-studded issue will impact the titles currently exploring the era between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as well as Marvel's upcoming Star Wars: High Republic Phase III titles. In addition, the one-shot will lay the groundwork for a number of exciting all-new comic titles that have yet to be announced.
Phil Noto's cover teases a host of upcoming appearances including Mace Windu and Grand Admiral Thrawn, while we'll also find out what's on the horizon for Darth Vader, the heroes of the Rebellion, the Jedi Knights of the High Republic, and more.
Thrawn's presence is particularly exciting as he's currently taking centre stage in Disney+'s Ahsoka. He wasn't in the main Star Wars Galaxy during the events of Empire and Jedi, so we're curious when and where this story takes place...and whether it will flesh out the story we're currently seeing play out on screen.
As for the rest of the characters teased here, it's always fun spending time with the likes of Darth Vader and Mace Windu, so we'll be keeping a very close eye on the stories this one-shot teases.
Stay tuned for updates on Star Wars: Revelations as we have them.
