STAR WARS: POE DAMERON #1 Jets Hero Into Ongoing Series
STAR WARS: POE DAMERON #1 Soars Into Comic Shops This April!
New Ongoing Series Featuring Fan-Favorite Character!
Poe Dameron (one of the stars of Star Wars: The Force Awakens) is about to headline his own ongoing series from Marvel Comics. Star Wars: Poe Dameron is coming from the creative team of Charles Soule and Phil Noto.
What makes this unique is unlike the previous Star Wars series to come and go as miniseries, Star Wars: Poe Dameron will be an ongoing. I even wrote about this at the start of the new year over at ComiConverse.
The era between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens is ripe with possible stories to be told. My hope is we will see more series starring the likes of Kylo Ren, Rey and Finn pre-The Force Awakens.
Star Wars: Poe Dameron will be on sale in April. The Marvel press release is below.
New York, NY – January 20th 2016 – Strap in and lock your s-foils in attack position because one of the breakout stars of the blockbuster Star Wars™: The Force Awakens is coming to comics!

Superstar creators Charles Soule (Lando, Obi-Wan and Anakin) and Phil Noto (Chewbacca) take you to a galaxy far, far away for the new adventures of Poe Dameron – former Republic flyer turned Resistance fighter and the best pilot in the galaxy!
“With Star Wars: The Force Awakens exceeding expectations the world over, it could not be a better time to be a Star Wars fan,” says Marvel SVP Sales & Marketing David Gabriel. “And with Poe Dameron being one of the breakout stars of the film, we’re thrilled we get to continue the story of this fan-favorite in the comics.
