Ahead of the SDCC publishing panel on July 25, the official site decided a few reveals were in order, starting with our first glimpse of what’s to follow this current era of comics: The Battle of Jakku maxiseries!

And now helping the list grow…an Ewoks four-issue miniseries! As Marvel looks set to go into the post-Return of the Jedi timeline, something they teased before SDCC 2024, one of the first new announcements is a little series putting the furry, cuddly, murder bears from the forest moon of Endor front and center! Written by Steve Orlando, with art from Laura Braga and Álvaro López, Ewoks will begin this October, and so too will the new era of Marvel’s comics.
