Han Solo may have died in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but his legacy continues with a solo spin-off film in May 25, 2015, as well as a new Marvel comics mini-series focused on the space smuggler turned general up for release in June.
In early March, Marvel released a first look at Han Solo #1 and now, Nerdist is giving a preview of some of the pages of the highly anticipated series.

Written by Marjorie Liu (Astonishing X-Men) together with art from Mark Brooks, Star Wars: Han Solo is set between Episodes IV and V, following everyone's favorite smuggler entering a deadly spaceship race called Dragon Void Run. The race is well-known for the aliens who join it as well as its level of difficulty, and its risky nature is drawing Solo towards it. Obviously, from the art, this dangerous race does not sit well with Princess Leia, who is seen in one of the pages quarrelling with Han.
To get a clearer picture of the comics' plot, Marvel has released an official description for Han Solo #1:
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?!
It doesn't really surprise me that Han is getting all this attention, with a new movie, comics, and all. He definitely deserves it. Even Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill thought he was Solo's side kick during the first Star Wars auditions.
Marvel's Star Wars: Han Solo #1 will hit shelves on June 15.
