New ‘Star Wars Adventures’ Preview and Info on Authors Featured at the SDCC Publishing Panel

Thanks to StarWars.com, comic fans can get an exclusive first look at the upcoming Star Wars Adventures ongoing comic series for all ages from IDW, which is set to hit shelves this September. The special early “ashcan” preview will be available to attendees of SDCC, but you can download the preview now for an even earlier glimpse at what IDW has in store.

 

 

For those of you who may be wondering what in the heck an “ashcan” is. Here is a brief description from Wikipedia:

“During the golden age of comics, ashcan editions of comics were printed to establish copyright. They often went straight from the printer to the “ashcan”. Today, “ashcans” could more accurately be described as mini or digest comics.”

 

The preview is written by Landry Q. Walker (Tales from a Galaxy Far, Far Away: Aliens), who is also confirmed to later write for the series alongside regular series artist Derek Charm (Jughead). Head on over to StarWars.com to download the free preview or check out the images below.

 

 

StarWars.com also promises more to come from Star Wars Adventures and all things Star Wars publishing at the “Lucasfilm Publishing Presents: New Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away….” panel at San Diego Comic Con on Friday, July 21 from 12-1 p.m. The panel will feature Christian Blauvelt (Star Wars Made Easy), Cullen Bunn (Darth Maul), Christie Golden (Inferno Squad), Claudia Gray (Leia: Princess of Alderaan), Jarrett J. Krosoczka (Jedi Academy: The Force Oversleeps), Cavan Scott (Star Wars Adventures), Beth Revis (Rebel Rising), and Landry Q. Walker (Star Wars Adventures) who will be talking about their upcoming stories.

 

Check out Star Wars Adventures #1 by Cavan Scott and Derek Charm in stores and digital on September 6.

    Like FOD, I like the concept but the artwork is an eyesore.

      To be fair, the artwork here is still more sophisticated than that awful Forces of Destiny cardboard animation from the recently released shorts.

    Not one thing with Ahsoka? The art work is too kiddy like for my tastes.

      I don’t mind the art, it helps differentiate it from Marvel’s stuff. But Ahsoka should definitely be here. They have Ventress, Ezra, and Kanan, so it’s a bit confusing. Maybe she’s off-limits for some reason?

      It’s for kids.

    It’s funny that these SW comics’ license has been given to someone other than Marvel despite both Marvel and Lucasfilm being under the same umbrella now.

      I guess Marvel just doesn’t have any interest in catering to such a young audience. It’s kind of ironic, considering the fact that comics are supposedly only for little kids, as so many jerks in the world love to claim.
