If projections hold, Marvel’s 2015 comic book,Star Wars #1, written byJason Aaronwith artwork byJohn Cassaday,will be the best-selling comic book in the past two decades.Rumor has ita million copies of the book could be sold when it’s released on January 14.
Part of the reason for that is Marvel will be telling a new story about what Luke, Han, Leia and the group did betweenStar WarsandThe Empire Strikes Back— that’s largely an unexplored few years inStar Warslore. Another reason is Marvel is going straight Nineties with the variant covers.
