October 27, 2022

Want to know what’s going to happen in the lives of your favorite Star Wars heroes and villains? Check out Star Wars Revelations #1 with covers and never-before-seen artwork coming November 23!

It begins when Star Wars Revelations #1 kicks off what will be an incredible 2023 for Marvel’s Star Wars comic series. Giving fans an idea of what’s to come in current titles Star Wars, Star Wars: Darth Vader, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, not to mention the amazing limited series Star Wars: Hidden Empire.

All these series take place in the basically uncharted period after Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and seek to reimagine the Star Wars mythology with daring adventures. Don’t count that galaxy far far away out just yet, Stars Wars: Revelations #1 will flip the scripts of these ongoing adventures as they careen towards an unknown outcome.

Star Wars: Revelations #1, written by Marc Guggenheim with art by Salvador Larroca, Pere Pérez, Emma Kubert, Justin Mason, and Paul Fry, may start out within the nefarious lava pits of Mustafar but soon the readers will find themselves visiting the many beloved crooks of the galaxy. Darth Vader is bearing witness to the destinies of the Rebellion, the Empire, Doctor Aphra, and some well-known bounty hunters, that it will leave him, and the fans, flabbergasted.

The Rebel Alliance are in a bind, trying to fight the Galactic Empire’s dominance on numerous planets. Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian and the rest of the rebels are on Darth Vader’s hit list, but he’s not alone. Padmé Amidala’s handmaiden, Sabé, is helping him hunt anyone who opposes the Empire. Beilert Valance is about to run into his one-time partner, T’onga along with her crew of bounty hunters. Archaeologist Doctor Chelli Aphra has been possessed by The Spark Eternal – an ancient tech that gives the user Sith-type abilities. And the leader of the Crimson Dawn crime ring, Lady Qi’ra, is primed and ready to make an all-out attack in hopes of collapsing the Sith and taking power back from the Empire. These may seem like completely unrelated tales but Star Wars: Revelations is about to bring them all together in a startling single storyline. Plus, Vader will become aware of a new problem on the horizon. Ajax Sigma is a wholly unique droid unto himself. With deep roots throughout the Star Wars history once he awakens there’s a sinister goal he’s got in mind that will change everything!

“Now, we all know that the Force can be used to glimpse the present, the past, and possible futures,” Guggenheim told StarWars.com. “Well, The Eye [of Webbish Bog] is going to show Vader all of the above, including moments that will be coming into play in 2023 all across the Star Wars line. It’s our clever way of giving readers a preview of what everyone has up their sleeves for next year, but this isn’t a 40-page movie trailer. It’s a real Star Wars story with Vader at the center.”

Don’t miss this dramatic chapter in Star Wars comics storytelling when STAR WARS: REVELATIONS #1 arrives on November 23.
