New STAR WARS Crossover Event “Screaming Citadel” Starts This Week!

I’m absolutely in love with the current lineup of STAR WARS comics and think it’s safe to say I’ll follow pretty much anything Marvel has up their sleeve when it comes to that galaxy far far away. 

This week marks the release of STAR WARS: THE SCREAMING CITADEL, the first issue of a five-part mini-series that will continue within that pages of the ongoing STAR WARS and DOCTOR APHRA books. This one-shot issue will be written by Kieron Gillen with art from Marco Checchetto.

‘THE SCREAMING CITADEL’ - PART 1 Rebel pilot and rogue archaeologist wander side by side into the darkest shadows of the galaxy as Luke Skywalker reluctantly teams up with Doctor Aphra! The Doctor makes Luke an offer he can’t afford to pass up…one that leads him to a very rare gathering at the heart of the infamous Screaming Citadel. Will Luke find what he’s looking for? Can Aphra be trusted? Or will they both wind up victims of the Citadel’s Queen?

I’m definitely excited to see Checchetto’s art in this one-shot, and am equally interested to see what a STAR WARS book will look like with a touch of horror. I think it can work! And it’s always fun seeing Doctor Aphra kick it with the ‘legacy’ characters. In any case, I’m excited for this 5-parter and so should you. Be sure to add both STAR WARS and DOCTOR APHRA to your pull list to get the full story. 

The story continues next week with STAR WARS #31.
