Marvel might be the main publisher of the "canon" Star Wars comics but IDW does share that license and they have been able to make some fun, kid-friendly Star Wars comics under the name Star Wars Adventures. These have been fun, one-off tales that switch between various eras, giving a number of characters solo adventures they wouldn't otherwise have in a movie or Disney+ series.
It looks like IDW has decided to take a page off Marvel's book as they told ComicBook.com that Star Wars Adventures would be relaunching this June and it would have one hell of a hook; the stories will take place AFTER The Rise of Skywalker. Considering how Marvel hasn't told those kinds of tales yet, we're expecting a surge in sales for Star Wars Adventures this June.
The first issue will detail one of Rey's first post-Rise of Skywalker missions with Poe and Finn as they still have unfinished business with what remains of The First Order. We're also getting a story set in The Mandalorian that follows IG-88, which is pretty surprising.
Here's how the new Star Wars Adventures #1 was described:
"An exciting new era begins! Each issue in this monthly series will feature two stories starring all your favorite Star Wars characters! In the wake of the events of The Rise of Skywalker, Rey, Poe, and Finn aren't finished fighting the First Order. Plus, an all-new tale of everyone's favorite droid bounty hunter from [Star Wars:] The Empire Strikes Back — IG-88! (With apologies to 4-LOM.)"
Will this make Star Wars Adventures a big seller with the fans? We'll have to wait and see. It's a positive step that will get people excited, that's for sure. Star Wars Adventures #1 will be coming out this June.
