CAPTAIN PHASMA Mini-Series Begins This Week!
What a fantastic time to be a STAR WARS fan! New movies, new TV shows, new games, new books, new toys, and of course…you guessed it…new comics. I have to admit, out of everything “STAR WARS” that has released since Disney acquired the rights and reset the official canon, I’ve enjoyed the comic books the most! By far! This galaxy is so huge and so vast that a single movie or TV show simply can’t cover it all. Comic books are the perfect medium for this universe giving fans the opportunity to explore all the dots on the timeline as well as more fleshed out stories for key characters.
Captain Phasma makes for a darn good toy, but her appearance in THE FORCE AWAKENS left a bitter taste in a lot of mouths. Ok, let’s be honest, she was kind of lame…buuuuuuut…has a lot of potential. Enter the 4-part mini-series CAPTAIN PHASMA as part of the “Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi” build up aimed at bridging the gap between THE FORCE AWAKENS and THE LAST JEDI.
As the excitement ramps up for this December’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, come back with us to the final moments of The Force Awakens and the destruction of Starkiller Base to learn the fate of Captain Phasma! Captured by the Resistance and thrown into a garbage masher, we follow the chrome-adorned warrior from the site of the First Order’s biggest defeat to the doorstep of this holiday season’s biggest blockbuster! Written by Kelly Thompson (HAWKEYE, STAR WARS ANNUAL 2016) and drawn by Marco Checchetto (STAR WARS: SHATTERED EMPIRE, STAR WARS: SCREAMING CITADEL), Captain Phasma will recondition you to love Star Wars again!
This much attention on Phasma leads one to believe she has a bigger part to play in THE LAST JEDI. While her big screen appearance was a bit off-putting, I’m still hopeful that she will get some time to shine in this next installment. This new comic is a good start. Pick it up this week!
