MARVEL COMICS' NEW STAR WARS WRITER

Marvel Comics has announced that Kieron Gillen will be taking over as writer of Star Wars, joining artist Salvador Larocca beginning with #38 in November.

"My aim's simple -- to do what Salva and I did with Darth Vader, but for Leia, Luke and Han. As in, chart the rise and fall of the rebellion between A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back, how it changes them all and how it changes the universe," Gillen said. "So a simple aim, but as nightmarishly tricky to pull off as dropping a proton torpedo down a thermal exhaust port. But hopefully as thrilling if we pull it off. I can't wait till you see it up. First up: the post-apocalyptic hell that remains of Jedha after the Death Star punched a hole through its mantle."

Here's how Marvel describes the story:

"Following the events of The Screaming Citadel, Luke and Leia have faced their own set of challenges, crash-landing on a remote island after being pursued by the Empire. Now, Team Skywalker is gearing up to fight again -- in the name of the Rebellion!"

"Kieron is one of the best writers in comics today, with comics that span so many different styles and genres," said editor Jordan D. White. "He's shown through the crossovers with his Darth Vader and Doctor Aphra series that he has just as great a grasp on the heroes of the Star Wars galaxy as he does on its villains -- and gray-area archaeologists. And any fan of his knows he's no stranger to the operatic saga!"
