Cad Bane and Captain Phasma to Appear in Marvel’s Star Wars Comics.

Fan-favorite bounty hunters Cad Bane and Aurra Sing have been confirmed to appear in Marvel’s Darth Maul comic, which is set prior to the events of The Phantom Menace. Meanwhile, Captain Phasma will be making an appearance in the ongoing Poe Dameron title, which takes place shortly before the events of The Force Awakens.

 

The following covers were revealed through the official Star Wars website:

 

On Rafael Albuquerque’s cover for Darth Maul #3, exclusively revealed by StarWars.com, legendary bounty hunters Cad Bane and Aurra Sing flank Darth Maul, all looking appropriately menacing. The issue, from series writer Cullen Bunn and artist Luke Ross, finds an evil crime syndicate auctioning off a Jedi Padawan — who Maul wants to kill first.

The cover for Poe Dameron #13, also revealed above, features a striking image of the First Order’s Captain Phasma with the titular character’s reflection in her armor. This latest installment of the ongoing title by writer Charles Soule and artist Phil Noto finds Black Squadron up against the forces First Order agent Terex.

Both stories will feature the antagonists featured on the covers, so this isn’t one of the weird cases where a character who doesn’t appear in the actual story is put on the cover of the comic in a cynical attempt to move more units. Hopefully, we’ll get a better explanation as to why Captain Phasma is feared by the Resistance than the a repeat of the character being defeated in a rather undignified way.

    that feeling when you realize that most likely Phasma is going to have more dialogue in this one issue than she had in the whole ep. VII

      Makes since considering she is the features villian in this piece and that was not the case in Awakens.

          We need backstory on every single character and all their decisions in their life and other past lives in a two hour film or else that film is awful and the characters are disappointments made only to offend fans.

          That’s just how this works. Duh. Obviously.

            Honestly, that was one of the arguments that the Nostalgia Critic had against Rogue One, and it killed me.

            “How do Baze and Chirrut know each other??!?!”

            1. It doesn’t fucking matter.

            2. I could say the same about Han and Chewie, so stop talking.

            Some people just can’t be reasoned with.

            I got three minutes into that review and turned it off.

            I don’t get it. It’s like asking for a backstory on C3PO.

            Oh….we got that…..and it sucked.

            Clearly he wasn’t paying attention, as they clearly state that Baze and Chirrut both had the same profession.

            It’s one thing to criticize a movie and another to not pay attention to it.

            I agree. that’s my ultimate pet peeve when it comes to film critics. Disagree with me all you like, but at least pay attention to the damn movie if you expect to speak about it with ANY authority whatsoever. This applies to all films, not just Star Wars, of course.

            I was so shocked at some people as well. When I was watching Rogue One opening night, a group of pretty knowledgeable (we overheard them talking about other Star Wars lore in great detail) Star Wars geeks much like myself and friends were sitting in near us bitching about how not one Bothan was to be seen in the movie. At that point I knew they were either trolling or morons.

    Speaking of bounty hunters, I’m kinda surprised of the lack of them in Rebels, wish they had more arcs like in Clone Wars.

    Phasma is probably the most disappointing character of the Disney canon thus far. Granted Snoke’s look/voice wasn’t at all impressive in any way but he’s guaranteed a bigger part for the next two films and that might not even be the real one.

    Whereas Phasma was promoted as the first true female villain in the SW mythos and was reduced to corny ass meta punchline. To add to this indignity, All the Hasbro toys of her were that dull gray shit rather than the chromium finish we saw onscreen.

      While Im excited about Phasma, I am far more interested in Maz Kanata.
      I would love a solo comic series about her (Im sure there is space in her 1000 years).
      I think she will eventually make an apperance Rebels (would love to see her and Ahsoka interact)
      I suppose there is a possibilty she could appear in the Han Solo movie (that would get me excited for it).

        Given that her and Han have history, this would be nice to see.

    The more news I hear about the Darth Maul comic, the more I’m inclined to buy it, which would make it the first comic book I bought in the last… eleven years?

    They have been teasing Phasma a bit over the course of the whole series for Poe Dameron. It makes sense that she’ll finally appear. I think she will be the main antagonist for Poe and Finn in Episode VIII

    That’s the best Bane has ever looked.

    I must admit… the more time passes the more I am disappointed at how Phasma was handled. It’ll be hard to convince us she’s a badass after that performance in TFA. If she’s suddenly awesome It’ll be like… where was this women when she deactivating the shields!?

      I still think she’s a droid personally.

    cad bane needs his own comic or at least part of a larger bounty hunter series.

      Counterpoint: Cad Bane never needs to be seen of or heard of ever again and was THE worst part of the Clone Wars IMO. Reasons? 1) The Cowboy hat. 2) His voice 3) Somehow someway he kept besting the Jedi at every single turn in the series. He was playing on God mode the entire time. I am all for having an antagonist to the Jedi but the Jedi were somehow never a threat to him. EVER.

        but the hat is the best part! 😉

        1. The hat is cool.

        2. The voice is cool.

        3. His power is cool.

        Closing Statement: But he’s cool tho.

          1) the hat is the equivalent of Luke being given hot chocolate. It’s too earth like.
          2) like I said SteVen Hawking
          3) I don’t enjoy overpowers characters much like Starkiller in TFU

          Retort: So not cool. So so dumb.
