Marvel Comics To Create an Adaptation of ‘Ahsoka’
Ahsoka Tano will soon headline her own comic book series from Marvel.
Following in the footsteps of fellow Disney+ series The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Marvel Comics will release a limited series based on Ahsoka this July.
The new series will be written by Rodney Barnes with art by Steven Cummings and Georges Jeanty. If those names sound familiar, they should. This is the same team that faithfully adapted both seasons of The Mandalorian.
Cummings and Jeanty will alternate illustrating issues, with Cummings tackling issue #1.
The Comic Book Will Re-Tell ‘Ahsoka’s’ Story
Like the Disney+ series, Star Wars: Ahsoka will follow Ahsoka’s “galaxy-spanning” quest to bring Grand Admiral Thrawn to justice and rescue Ezra Bridger. Soon, you will be able to relive the joy of the Disney+ series in an all-new way.
“It is truly an honor to be adapting Ahsoka,” Barnes told StarWars.com. “The character is the essence of classic Star Wars: layered, complex and fun! I hope the fans enjoy this adaptation as much as the series it’s adapted from.”
“We’re big fans here at Marvel, and we’ve been wanting to do something with Ahsoka for a long time,” Editor Mark Paniccia shared. “By the Force our dream finally came true!”
Star Wars: Ahsoka will be available wherever comic books are sold this July. I, for one, can’t wait!
