The upcoming comic series Star Wars: Kanan - The Last Padawan debuts next month and will tell the story of Jedi Kanan Jarrus, who is one of the main character on the animated series Star Wars Rebels, following the events of Order 66. The first issue hits shelves on April 1 and the good folks over at Newsarama have an exclusive preview of the issue, as well as the reveal of several new variant covers. Check it out below,

Kanan Jarrus--in STAR WARS REBELS, he’s a cocky, sarcastic renegade
fighting against the Galactic Empire alongside the rag-tag crew of the
Ghost...but years before, at the height of the Clone Wars, he was known
as Caleb Dume, Jedi Padawan under the instruction of Jedi Master Depa
Billaba. Neither master nor apprentice ever suspected that the Clone
Troopers they commanded would turn on them upon the issuing of Order
66—the order to execute all Jedi. How did Caleb Dume survive? How did he
learn to survive on his own? And how did he become the man we know as
Kanan Jarrus? Writer Greg Weisman (writer/executive producer on STAR
WARS REBELS, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN) and artist Pepe Larraz (DEADPOOL
VS. X-FORCE, THOR, INHUMAN) bring us a tale bridging the years between
the Clone Wars and Rebels!
I must say, I am really looking forward to this series. Overall the Marvel Star Wars comics have been good so far. Plus Kanan has been a great character on Rebels (and in the novel A New Dawn) and I look forward to seeing more of his backstory.
