Earlier this year, we learned that Marvel's ongoing Star Wars comic book series will be coming to an end. Now, StarWars.com has revealed the details about the finale issue that will be released this December. This issue, titled Star Wars: Empire Ascendant, takes place after the events of Star Wars #75 (the final issue of the series) and will set the stage for the events of The Empire Strikes Back. Empire Ascendant will be written by Charles Soule, Greg Pak, Simon Spurrier, and Ethan Sacks, with art by Luke Ross, and Roland Boschi.
"Star Wars: Empire Ascendant #1 finds the Rebel Alliance — Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo among them — building up Echo Base on the ice planet of Hoth while Darth Vader tries to locate the headquarters in vain. In addition to acting as an epilogue to the Star Wars flagship comic run, which followed the continuing adventures of our heroes after the events of Star Wars: A New Hope, the special one-shot will also address the fates of Doctor Aphra and Beilert Valance."
The Star Wars comic book series from Marvel was the first series that Marvel released after reacquiring the license from Dark Horse in 2015. The series followed the adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Artoo, and Threepio, after A New Hope leading up to The Empire Strikes Back.
Star Wars: Empire Ascendant hits shelves in December 2019.
