The nine best Star Wars comics for newbies (Report)

With the arrival of The Force Awakens in 2015, a whole new set of fans were introduced to Star Wars, and with The Last Jedi just two months away, the Star Wars saga will inevitably continue to attract more. Desperate for more great Star Wars stories? Here are nine brilliant comics to get your teeth into.

9. Star Wars: Lando (2015)

This miniseries is set before the film The Empire Strikes Back (1980) – in which Lando Calrissian makes his first appearance – and shows us a side of him we’ve never seen before. It documents his times as a dealer and a scoundrel, giving us even an insight on his friendship with Lobot.

8. Star Wars: Kanan: The Last Padawan Vol.1 (2015)

Do you have a soft spot for Disney’s ongoing animation, Star Wars: Rebels? Then you can’t miss this comic, which not only gives you a backstory on the character of Kanan Jarrus when he was a young Jedi Padawan, but also an insight on the events before Star Wars Rebels Season 1. A very nice look into the new canon that merges the Rebels world with the Star Wars prequel trilogy of 1999-2005.

7. Star Wars: Poe Dameron #1  (2016)

If, after watching The Force Awakens (2015) you’re curious to know more about Poe – the X-wing pilot and his loyal companion BB-8 – then Poe Dameron gives you exactly what you want. Attractive as a spy story, packed with actions and cliff-hangers, Poe Dameron is a good story for newbies and old-time fans.

6. Star Wars: Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir (2017)

A four-issue miniseries, Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir came to life as an adaptation of an unproduced script for the animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2014). The king of the bad guys before Kylo Ren, Maul gets a comic of his own, and it’s brilliant. The characters are all well rounded; those into action and mysterious endings won’t be  disappointed.
