After selling out today, Marvel has announced that Charles Soule and Will Sliney’s Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #1 will be returning to comic book shops for a second printing.
“I can’t believe that I’m the guy who gets to write that,” said Soule with regards to the series which charts the fall of Ben Solo. “Of course I had been thinking about it on a fan level from the minute I saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but the idea that I would be writing it down was never in my mind until this past summer. And then I just dug in as hard as I could to really try to make a really good Star Wars story… It was about creating a story that felt epic and above all emotional for Ben Solo because this transition, this turn to the dark side has to be as good and stand at the same level as some of the other big turns to the dark side we see.”
