Comic News: Kieron Gillen Eyes Exit of Star Wars Comic

Posted on January 12, 2019July 14, 2019 by Head Butler Ryan

Kieron Gillen has announced, via his newsletter, his plans to leave the Star Wars series with issue #67, the ending to his next arc, “The Scourging of Shu-Torun.” Gillen took over the Star Wars series from original writer Jason Aaron in 2017, starting his run with issue #38, making this a 30-issue run. He seems to be done with the storytelling era between A New Hope/Empire Strikes Back, and I don’t blame him considering most of the comics have taken place during the timeframe and he’s only written series which fall within it. It’ll be sad to see him go, as he’s brought a fun new energy to the SW series, he’s been around since the very start with his first Vader series, and he created the wonder that is Doctor Aphra (my favorite character), but maybe he’ll be back, someway, somehow. Some other thoughts about the Star Wars series’ future below! Continue reading “Comic News: Kieron Gillen Eyes Exit of Star Wars Comic” →
