The cover (by Phil Noto) for Shattered Empire #1 (full series review!), one of Marvel’s contributions to the ‘Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ initiative, has been revealed. It’ll drop in September, which is the expected release month of Star Wars: Aftermath, Del-Rey’s first canon post-Return of the Jedi adult novel. It’ll be authored by Chuck Wendig, his first novel for the saga, who was uncovered by Florian of Jedi-Bibliotehek. The full image of Shattered Empire and Chuck Wendig’s reaction to the gundark being let out of the cage are below.
Obviously Chuck’s involvement with Aftermath was probably meant to be kept a secret till something like Star Wars Celebration Anaheim and he’s been playing coy about it ever since the news first broke:
@darthspiriah Oh! Well. Hi. Good morning. I, uhhh. *clears throat* *flings a thermal detonator* *runs*
