Hell yes.

 

Don't have a comic store nearby for single issues but I might pick up the tpb when it comes out if the reviews have been good.

 

When is this due out?

 

November

 

This looks like it will be fun.

 

I bet that would Soontir needs. (I will show myself out.)

 

I'm really hoping we see some of the members of the Carida Academy from the old EU. Especially the ones from the expulsion story from Dark Empire Sourcebook.

 

Trooper Badure (spelling?), Mako Spince, Tag and Bnk, etc.

 

Don't forget Dean Wyrmyr!

 

Kirk's a damn good artist too - a mini like this is perfect for him.

 

Looks good for everything other than ever again really knowing what color Han's eyes are.

 

Could be good. Looking forward to seeing Han pilot TIE Fighters.

 

^ what they said.

 

I hope this along with Lando: Double Or Nothing is a sign we're going to start getting more "prequels/sequels" to character minis

 

Digging this propaganda poster variant cover by Elsa Charretier...

 

Get a very Fallout vibe from that.

 

This is good news. Now we'll get to see what Han meant when he said "I was kicked out of the flight academy for having a mind of my own".

 

I imagine the final panels will be the deleted tribunal scene from Solo

 

Preview for #1 is up. (It was also published last week in Marvel's Star Wars Reads free sampler.)

 

Spoiler

So a setup of the scene before the start of the movie?

So it starts with a dream?

 

One of these days someone's gonna have to come up for an explanation of "portions" as something that just exists outside of any particular context. Are they specifically stealing military rations? Are military rations this much of a big deal on the black market?

 

I wonder if they got that idea from the Firefly pilot episode?
