Star Wars Adventures #3:
Finally, there’s Star Wars Adventures #3, IDW’s second volume of the long-running all-ages comic.
The official solicitations show the cover to the right (below on mobile) as the cover A Francavilla. Some are showing a different Francavilla cover with a Wookiee as the 1:10 incentive. However, it’s been IDW’s practice to simply print a black and whtie version of the main cover A as the 1:10 variant, so that’s probably not right. Anyway, there is also a Davide Tinto cover B variant as well which we haven’t seen the art for yet.
Solicit:
Join the Wookiees of Kashyyyk for part one of a special Life Day celebration! Then, follow Kylo Ren as he learns what it means to be the Supreme Leader of the First Order
