Preview: Star Wars: Han Solo #1 From Marvel Comics
By D. Goodman
Thanks to Marvel Comics, we have a preview of the first issue of the forthcoming Han Solo miniseries coming out in June.
Since reacquiring the Star Wars license, Marvel has done a very good job of balancing the type of content they have produced. Other then having two or three ongoing series at a time, they haven’t flooded the market with a ton of miniseries, which they could have easily done.
Those miniseries have featured a nice blend of characters from what has mostly been the Classic Trilogy Era, with Lando, Chewbacca and Princess Leia all getting a moment to shine in their own solo miniseries.
And now it’s Han Solo’s turn.
Set to debut this June, Star Wars: Han Solo sees everyone’s favorite scoundrel head off on his own on a top secret mission for the Rebellion. But of course, this being Han Solo, you just know nothing is going to go quite as planned.

Written by fan-favorite Marjorie Liu and with art by Mark Brooks, Star Wars: Han Solo looks to be one of the most highly anticipated Star Wars titles yet. From what we’ve seen in the preview, the hype seems well worth it.
From the Marvel press release:
"Han Solo has finally entered his ship into the Dragon Void Run – an infamous high-stakes race across the stars. You know, the race Han has dreamt of winning. Only there’s a catch – his entry into this legendary race is a top-secret undercover mission for Princess Leia and the Rebellion! Will he keep his mind on the mission? More importantly – can he manage to pull it off while still maintaining his lead in the race?!"
