The May 2024 solicitations from Marvel Comics are here! This post will take a look at all Star Wars comics announced for May 2024 including some thoughts on which ones pique my interest or at the very least… seem interesting.
Some of the May 2024 Star Wars comics & magazines from Dark Horse Comics and Titan Comics are listed on TFAW as of me writing this, but no individual comics from Marvel just yet. You can see what’s listed or if they’ve added the rest yet here.
A few notes:
Typically when solicits are announced we get full cover art for at least one cover for each issue. This time is weird. I found out the solicits were released from Bleeding Cool and the only images they had were scans of the previews pages sent to retailers. I will update with better art when I have it.It’s updated with actual cover art now.- There’s a new one-shot listed May 2024, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary Special. This will have all new stories from the Phantom Menace period of the prequel era. TPM is my favorite Star Wars movie to rewatch so I’m excited for it.
- It also appears that we’ll be getting a Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary variant line by Chris Sprouse. I’d imagine they will be similar to the other anniversary variant lines that we’ve gotten for The Return of the Jedi, Empire Strikes Back, Lucasfilm 40th, etc. where each one will depict a scene from the movie and there will be a standard border created.
- There will be a Plo Koon and Bultar Swan “Master and Apprentice” variant for the Phantom Menace one-shot by Giuseppe Camuncoli. Bultar Swan was Plo Koon’s apprentice and as far as I know has never appeared in a comic or on a cover.
- Darth Maul – Black, White, Red is sounding cooler and cooler the more I hear about it.
- The Baron Boolan variant for Star Wars: The High Republic #7 by Lee Garbett bangs.
- Interesting that Vader is going to attack Exogol. I hope he thinks he wins to justify why force ghost Anakin didn’t tell Luke about the Emperor’s plans sooner.
