Star Wars Celebration Japan has come and gone and since there’s no new Star Wars comics this week, we break down the key comics news that was made the semiannual event celebrating all thing Star Wars.
One thing that was notable was convention-exclusive Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1 by Ethan Sacks, Steven Cummings, Will Sliney and Shogo Aoki, with a cover by Phil Noto. The one-shot was only available at the ILM/Meta booth at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. It serves as prequel story to the Meta Quest experience “Star Wars: Beyond Victory — A Mixed Reality Playset.”
So far (as of April 23), four copies are on eBay, with one at $305. We don’t have a copy — it’s unclear if it’ll ever be released outside of SWCJ — but when we get one, we’ll offer up a review.
One thing that drew our attention? Marvel editor in chief C.B. Cebulski, at Star Wars Celebration’s Lucasfilm Publishing panel, said the company is doing a Millennium Falcon-focused comic later this year.
Comics Discussed This Week:
• Star Wars: Beyond VIctory #1
Star Wars Comics New to Marvel Unlimited This Week:
• Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku — Last Stand #3 (of 4)
