Marvel Comics has announced that it will continue to expand the saga of Ben Solo this August as writer Charles Soule and artist Will Sliney follow their work on Star Wars: Rise of Kylo Ren and Star Wars: Legacy of Vader with the new five-issue limited series Star Wars: The Fall of Kylo Ren.
“The story of Kylo Ren (and Ben Solo, of course) always felt huge to me,” said Soule. “It was clear that a great deal was out there to explore beyond the moments provided by the films, and it’s been such a pleasure—and a challenge—to deliver new tales for one of the most prominent villains in Star Wars. I’m thrilled I get to do it one more time, and even more so that I get to reunite with the incredible Will Sliney, who kicked things off with me on The Rise of Kylo Ren all those years ago. First the Rise, then the Reign, and now the Fall… it just feels right.”
“This is the one book I have been dying to get back on,” adds artist Will Sliney. “Ever since Charles and I worked on The Rise of Kylo Ren, we knew we were a part of something special. To be honest, I’ve never experienced a fan group so excited for the story when we worked on Rise, and quietly behind the scenes, Charles and I had been talking about The Fall of Kylo Ren for a long, long time. The story we got to tell in Rise is such a key part in the story of Ben Solo. Fall is the same. I’m thrilled to be back drawing it, I can’t wait until this gets out into people’s hands.”
