Overview
- Marvel published official preview pages on Oct. 20–21 that show Marvel heroes breaking into the opening moments of A New Hope and that will run as preview inserts in select Marvel titles.
- Kevin Smith is writing the six‑issue miniseries with art by David Marquez and the first issue is listed with an on‑sale date of January 13, 2027.
- Preview art and variant covers depict specific crossovers such as Iron Man in Darth Vader’s debut, Luke teaming with Spider‑Man, and a depiction of Vader with the Infinity Gauntlet while Doctor Doom allies with Vader.
- Marvel and Lucasfilm are using a coordinated retail strategy that includes recurring variant cover programs, a named cover artist lineup, and booster previews intended to drive collector orders.
- The project is framed as part of Lucasfilm’s A New Hope 50th anniversary and builds on a 50‑year comics link between the brands that began when Marvel first published Star Wars in 1977.
