The moment we’ve all been waiting for is fast-approaching! Today on “This Week! In Star Wars” Marvel revealed that a new 8-issue mini series adapting Season 1 of the Mandalorian will be coming to comic book shops this June!
The series with a cover from Adi Granov, will be written by Rodney Barnes and illustrated by Georges Jeanty!
No longer will collectors need to settle for a comic full of screen captures or a simple cover appearance.
Check out the first cover reveal below plus more from Starwars.com below!
“The story of the Mandalorian checks so many boxes of the stuff I’m passionate about,” Barnes tells StarWars.com. “I love Westerns, fantasy, science fiction, comedy, drama…it’s a dream gig for any writer. I’m just glad I was chosen for this assignment!”
“I’ve always thought an artist’s style is a lot like writing in short hand. It’s very subjective. What I bring to Star Wars is my detail and love for a galaxy far, far away,” adds Jeanty. “Star Wars, especially where bounty hunters are concerned, is a messy landscape. I love drawing all the little details. My look has always be detail oriented, and with The Mandalorian there is so much going on with the character and in the background, and I look forward to adding visually to the already rich tapestry that makes up this universe!”
This news follows the exciting announcement of the new Star Wars: Obi-Wan series and Krrsantan collection, both coming soon from Marvel.
