The Star Wars universe continues to expand. Apart from the recent first look at Rey's early adventures in Jakku via the Star Wars Adventures issues, now fans can also follow Captain Phasma's adventures in the comics.
The new four-part comic series, titled Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Captain Phasma (via Newsarama), will show how Captain Phasma survived the destruction of the Starkiller Base. In the press release, writer Kelly Thompson revealed that it will take more than that to keep the warrior down—and this new series will explore just how that happens:
"The Star Wars films, with so many fantastic characters, obviously can't be a ‘Phasma story,' and it's especially cool that Phasma is getting explored in depth in both her forthcoming novel and comic book. The most exciting thing to me about our mini-series is that we were given the awesome responsibility of bridging a gap between Force Awakens and Last Jedi—of answering the question of what happened to Phasma after she went into that trash chute. Anytime you get to write official Star Wars is pretty incredible, but getting to decide what that link is, for a super intriguing character in some of the most epic movies of all time, is next level!"
The teaser announcement doesn't give much away anymore, except to ensure that this is a needed read, if you want to see the lore beyond the big screen, just before Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives. A couple of preview pages have also been released, seen below.
Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Captain Phasma #1 will be out on shelves this September. Alongside Thompson, Marco Checchetto is charged with art and Paul Renaud for the cover art.
