It's the Age of the New Republic!
Star Wars #1 from me and Phil Noto is out in stores today!
Today’s the big day, folks!
STAR WARS #1 is here!
Wild to see, but it’s true! My run on Star Wars with artist Phil Noto starts here with an intergalactic first issue. Check out the fully dressed main cover:
I’m still pinching myself. To call this a dream come true would be a criminal understatement. This is a franchise that has meant so much to me, and to untold millions of others. I don’t take that lightly. This is going to be a book I put my everything into, and I know Phil feels the same! Buckle up and enjoy the ride.
My endless thanks goes out to Marvel and the whole Star Wars division from the editorial team of C.B.Cebulski, Robert Simpson, Mike Siglain, Mark Paniccia, Grace Orriss, Mikey J. Basso, and Drew Baumgartner to our designer Carlos Lao and our letterer extraordinaire Clayton Cowles. But most of all, thank YOU the readers for giving us this chance. We hope you like it!
And here’s another shout-out to our amazing variant cover artists for this issue. Take a gander:
And a reminder that if you read the Free Comic Book Day 2025: Star Wars issue, you got your first look at the story Phil and I are telling.
I had a lot of fun signing these at Royal Collectibles on Saturday, so much so that I’ll be doing ANOTHER New York-based signing today. Come on over to Midtown Comics Downtown at 5pm and get your first issues scribbled!
Okay, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading - now go out and get some comics!
