Get ready for a fresh comic book series, ‘Star Wars: Legacy of Vader,’ launching this February, which delves into Kylo Ren’s quest after taking control as the Supreme Leader.

As the new leader of the First Order, Kylo Ren, having killed his master Supreme Leader Snoke, faces the echoes of his past actions, including his father’s murder and his encounter with Luke Skywalker.

The series promises a captivating exploration of his transition during the events between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.

Created by acclaimed creators Charles Soule and Luke Ross, this series is penned by Soule, a New York Times best-selling author noted for his influential portrayal of Vader’s ascent in his 2017 DARTH VADER run.

Artist Luke Ross brings his notable artistry from other Star Wars titles like JANGO FETT and THRAWN. Together, they craft a narrative that bridges the gap in Kylo Ren’s story, filled with unexpected turns and deep dives into both his and Vader’s past.

Charles Soule shared his excitement with StarWars.com, highlighting how this project blends his previous works on DARTH VADER and THE RISE OF KYLO REN, both of which are beloved by readers for illuminating untold stories within the Star Wars universe. He expressed immense enthusiasm for exploring a pivotal yet uncharted part of the timeline.

Mark Paniccia, the editor, hinted at groundbreaking revelations in the series that will surprise readers, showcasing unseen aspects of both Kylo Ren’s and Vader’s histories.

The artistic vision of Luke Ross complements the intense, dark narrative, elevating the storytelling through striking page designs.

The anticipation builds with the reveal of the main cover by superstar artist Derrick Chew and a variant by Annie Wu. ‘Star Wars: The Legacy of Vader #1’ is now available for preorders at local comic shops.
