- In other Dark Horse news, they’ve recently announced a new, ongoing comic series launching in January titled simply Star Wars. The series uses A New Hope as a jumping off point and features the core characters introduced in that movie as the leads. It’s written by author Brian Wood and features covers by Alex Ross. Editor Randy Stradley said, “As for how this series is ‘different’ from past entries in this time period, I guess the answer would be that we’re trying very had to keep everything fresh — as if Episode IV had just come out in theaters. This is the Star Wars series for everyone who has loved the films, but has never delved into any of the comics or novels. There is no vast continuity that a reader needs to know beyond the events in A New Hope. This is the beginning of the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie.” – SOURCE: i09.com
