MARVEL COMICS' NEW STAR WARS TITLES

Marvel Comics has announced two new Star Wars titles.

Star Wars: Journey to The Force Awakens -- Shattered Empire is a limited series beginning in September. It is written by Greg Rucka, with art by Marco Chechetto and covers by Phil Noto.

Lando, a five-issue Star Wars limited series written by Charles Soule, with art by Alex Maleev, will launch in July.

Both series will be considered part of Star Wars canon, with Shattered Empire leading into December's new Star Wars movie.

"The world has been wondering what happened after the fall of the Empire since the credits first rolled on Return of the Jedi in 1983," said Shattered Empire editor Jordan D. White. "Now, on the dawn of the next chapter of the saga, we're incredibly proud to be involved in revealing the events that happen immediately following the end of Return of the Jedi!"

Here's how Marvel describes the Lando series:

"Before he joined the rebellion, before he oversaw mining operations on Bespin -- he was just Lando. Making his way in the galaxy and getting by on good looks, charm, and an ace up his sleeve (sometimes literally). With his cyborg aide Lobot at his side, Lando has plans to steal one of the galaxy's most valuable ships. Yet even with his swindles and unparalleled swagger -- has he bitten off more than he can chew?"

"Is Lando Calrissian the coolest character in all of Star Wars? Depends on who you ask, probably. But if you ask me, the answer is yes, and I plan to prove it with this story," Soule said.

"Before Cloud City, before his glorious Death Star run, Lando Calrissian was just a man trying to make his way through an uncaring universe determined not to recognize that he was undeniably the coolest man in the galaxy. But Lando's got a plan to change all that... and it starts with the deal of a lifetime."

Covers for the first issue are by Maleev and Leinil Yu.
