STAR WARS ANNUAL #3 Releases This Week

Can you believe the new ongoing STAR WARS comic book has been out for over 3 years now!? Come to think of it, can you believe writer Jason Aaron has been writing the book the entire time!? Unbelievable. It’s rare that a writer sticks around that long for a single Marvel title. The sad news is Jason Aaron will be leaving the series very soon with issue #37. End of an era.

That said, hitting the 3 year mark means another issue of the STAR WARS ANNUAL series. These are just fun one-off stories featuring some of our favorite characters. This year the spotlight lands on Leia and Han.

The Rebel Alliance is on the lookout for a new secret base! Rebellion leader Princess Leia goes with Han Solo to scope out a secret hideout only he knows…as well as the group of killers who want him dead!

The cover art just screams “Hoth”. Funny thing. That ain’t Hoth. It’s actually a planet called Odona. Is this the new trend. Create a planet that’s just like another planet? Jakku anyone? Whatever, there’s billions of planets in the galaxy, some are bound to look the same. I guess…My confused disappointment aside, this looks like a really fun issue. Writer Jason Latour gets to take a stab at the franchise and artist Michael Walsh seems to be on point.
