Beginning where Episode IV left off, Luke Skywalker and the ragtag band of rebels fighting against the Galactic Empire are fresh off their biggest victory yet-the destruction of the massive battle station known as the Death Star. But the Empire’s not toppled yet! Join Luke along with Princess Leia, smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca, droids C-3PO and R2-D2, and the rest of the Rebel Alliance as they strike out for freedom against the evil forces of Darth Vader and his master, the Emperor. This is the Star Wars saga as only Marvel Comics could make it!

In honor of Star Wars returning to Marvel, Midtown Comics has also commissioned a set of exclusive vertical connecting covers by Mark Brooks for Star Wars #1, Darth Vader #1, and Princess Leia #1, available in both color and black & white. You can preorder these exclusive variants here!
