The comic adaptation of Episode XI coincides with the upcoming ongoing series Star Wars: Legacy of Vader, which also gets underway in February and Kylo Ren’s evolution as Supreme Leader of the First Order and his daring quest into his grandfather’s tragic past in the lead up to the events of The Rise of Skywalker.
“There’s a resurgence of interest in these characters, especially Kylo Ren, Darth Vader’s blood heir,” Editor Mark Paniccia shared. “Jody’s script captures the impact of these iconic moments between the film’s heroes and villains, while the art by Will Sliney and dazzling colors by Guru-eFX give a visually unique experience of this epic finale.”
