    But the evil First Order also has a goal of finding Luke, and a new villain from the organization is introduced as Poe’s chief nemesis.

    “Sometimes it can feel like the Star Wars universe is so well trodden and so many stories have already been told,” Soule explains. “But the way the Episode VII galaxy is set up, there are opportunities for new archetypes almost, and the bad guy we’re working with is going to feel fresh and cool.”

    Baron Soontir Fel expy incoming!

    YES!

    This looks to take place in the space between Before the Awakening's ending (the initial assignment to find Lor San Tekka) and his fulfillment of the mission in TFA.

    Oh... I hope it continues when it reaches that point to chronicle the events of TFA from Poe's POV. Including his escape from the TIE. That would be AMAZING.

    Well, looks like we now have X-Wing: The Next Generation!

    Yes! More Poe and T-70 x-wings (perhaps the T-85 mentioned in Before The Awakening, too?) in comic book form!

    Don't forget the A-Wing there. ;)

    Paging AdmiralNick22, we might have some pictures of the New Republic and Resistance Fleets coming real soon.

    The X-Wing comics live!

    That’s awesome. I watched Inside Llewyn Davis (and Attack the Block) before TFA, and that would be great reference material if they wanted to portray Dameron at low, vulnerable points. And honestly... in the old EU, it didn’t take that long before the characterization of the movie cast seemed good because it was what we were used to of their EU personas, but if we had stopped and tried to picture Ford, Fisher, Hamill, or Williams actually reading the lines, it would have seemed way off. Sure, the characters developed beyond their movie personas, and rightfully so, but even when books and comics would dip back into the Original Trilogy timeline, it often felt like we were seeing EU Han rather than Harrison Ford.

    Oscar Isaac is a fantastic actor, and I fully support the decision to try to capture his style in this comic book. I’ll definitely give this one a shot.

    You know, after seeing TFA I was totally down for a new flight sim or Rogue Squadron style arcade game even if it was centered around Poe and his squadron.

    In lieu of that, a comic like this will do just fine. :D :xwing:

    This is great. Since it's set pre-TFA (obviously), flesh out a bit of his backstory (and scenes with Leia please).

    Oh my gosh, YES!!!

    So excited for this, what a great creative team! Now I hope someone writes a full length Poe novel, that's not too much to ask, right?...

    Soule and Noto?

    I have to buy this for that alone.

    That and I liked Poe's BtA story.

    Pray. Pray for Rucka.

    Thank you Marvel! [face_dancing]

    God, I hope Jess, Ello, and Temmin all get some pagetime in this series too. They have a great group of characters that need expansion who can interact with Poe.
