Today Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics announced that the first season of the Ahsoka Disney+ show will be getting a Marvel Comics adaptation later this year!
READ NEXT: New Star Wars Comics & Books For February 7th, 2024
The adaptation will created by the same creative team that handled much of the Star Wars: The Mandalorian adaptation comics with Rodney Barnes tapped yet again to do the writing and Steven Cummings and Georges Jeanty doing the interior art!
No official release date yet but my best guess is that it will release in June or July like the Mandalorian comic series has the last 2 years.
The first issue will drop in July 2024!
Here’s a look at some of the covers for Star Wars: Ahsoka #1. This issue will be the first full comic appearance of Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll.
Star Wars: Ahsoka #1 (of 8)
Written by Rodney Barnes
Art by Steven Cummings
Cover by David Nakayama
After the fall of THE EMPIRE, Jedi Master AHSOKA TANO stalks the galaxy for GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN! A valuable prisoner escapes New Republic custody; a search for answers reunites two old friends. The villainous MORGAN ELSBETH returns along with two new mysterious Force-users, BAYLAN SKOLL and his apprentice, SHIN HATI.
I’m a little surprised that this is coming before the adaptations of Book of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian Season 3. But it is what it is. These comic adaptations are fun enough, but I personally prefer adaptations of novels like Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances.
