Star Wars: Han Solo makes the Kessel Run to comic shops

Marvel’s Star Wars Universe gets another limited series, this time starring the number one smuggler in the galaxy, Han Solo.

Everyone’s favorite scoundrel – now starring in his very own series! Today, Marvel is pleased to announce STAR WARS: HAN SOLO #1 – the newest Star Wars™ limited series coming to a galaxy far, far away and your local comic shops this June! A-list creators Marjorie Liu and Mark Brooks hop in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon to bring you a swashbuckling tale of high adventure in deep space!

Han Solo has finally entered his ship into the Dragon Void Run – an infamous high-stakes race across the stars. You know, the race Han has dreamt of winning. Only there’s a catch – his entry into this legendary race is a top-secret undercover mission for Princess Leia and the Rebellion! Will he keep his mind on the mission? More importantly – can he manage to pull it off while still maintaining his lead in the race?!

The race is on as Han, Chewie and the Falcon blast off this June for the highly anticipatedSTAR WARS: HAN SOLO #1 – coming to comic shops and digital devices!

Well this one’s been a long time coming, but there’s finally a solo (sorry) Han Solo series from Marvel. And yes, I know that the publisher’s Star Wars line in generally isn’t that old, but there’ve been mini-series’ starring a whole mess of Star Wars characters already, and Han is one of the most important out of all of them. So I’d say it’s about time that the scruffy outlaw gets his turn.

It’s a pretty cool idea too, with a Rebel mission and an underworld event crossing paths. It’s kind of like we get to see Solo in both worlds that he treads in this one. Either way, it’s probably one that you’re going to want to check out if you’re an old school Star Wars fan. And really, that’s pretty much everybody.

Star Wars: Han Solo #1 hits the stands in June from the team of Marjorie Liu and Mark Brooks.
