Mindless Speculation: Could Star Wars: Classified Be An Ongoing Doctor Aphra Series?

Joining the dots… from Kieron Gillen's Tumblr a wee while back.

UNANNOUNCED MARVEL THING – Two issues written. Inks arriving for the first issue, which are an utter delight. I think people will love it. It's an ongoing.

From today's news,

Star Wars: Classified #1 and #2

By Kieron Gillen and Kev Walker.

A new ongoing series written by Gillen, starting in December.

And from Marvel's offering for Halloween Comicfest this year. a reprint of Darth Vader #3 as Star Wars: Darth Vader: Doctor Aphra #1.

Featuring the character who works for Vader, often at extreme risk to her continued existence, and the creation of whom was described by Gillen as a dark mirror to Han Solo – and being an Indiana Jones of the Star Wars universe.

 

Who, along with fellow dark mirrors there, Triple O and BT-1, proved rather popular.

Could it be… that she is getting a spinoff ongoing series all of her own written by her co-creator Gillen? If so we won't find out for a while, Marvel's December solicits are keeping it classified.

Purely mindless speculation… night all.
