Dark Horse Shares New Details For Graphic Novel ‘Hyperspace Stories – Qui-Gon’
Comic book publisher Dark Horse provided more details about their upcoming graphic novel, Hyperspace Stories – Qui-Gon. The book will be released on April 24, 2024, and will be written by Star Wars book author veteran George Mann. Mann also shared a few story details, including certain iconic characters and locations readers can expect to see in the new book.
Earlier this month at a Lucasfilm Publishing panel at New York Comic-Con, it was announced that publisher Dark Horse is working on a new series of graphic novels called, Hyperspace Stories. Their first book in the series focuses on Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, but more featured characters are on the way.
Here is the full list of characters to be featured, as revealed on DarkHorse.com: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon Jinn, Rey, General Grievous, Kylo Ren, and Darth Vader.
When speaking about the first upcoming graphic novel, Hyperspace Stories – Qui-Gon, writer George Mann spoke about how the book will encompass three key moments from Qui-Gon Jinn’s life:
“Expect everything from lightsaber battles to creepy investigations, from dark side sects to familiar faces, as we check in on Qui-Gon at three pivotal moments in his life, venturing to the streets of Jedha as a Padawan, to the distant world of Cerosha as a lonesome Jedi Knight, and deep into the wreck of an ancient spaceship as a Jedi Master. Count Dooku! Young Obi-Wan! It’s all here! Plus, of course, the most gorgeous art from Andrea and Gigi.”
The post also hints at the graphic novel’s possible antagonists. Qui-Gon will be investigating “some of the Force’s many mysterious followers: The Brotherhood of the Ninth Door.” This particular sect was first introduced in Star Wars The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha, also written by George Mann.
Dark Horse also provided a few more product details about Hyperspace Stories – Qui-Gon, including how long it is:
“Featuring a cover by award-winning artist Michael Cho, Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Qui-Gon Jinn spans 80 pages and is a standard comic size (6.625″ x 10.1875″) original graphic novel, which will arrive in bookstores April 23, 2024 and comic shops on April 24, 2024.”
Dark Horse also has a comic book line currently running, also called Hyperspace Stories. The latest issue featured Jedi Quinlan Vos facing up against bounty hunter Cad Bane. You can read all about it in my review of Hyperspace Stories #9.
