Teasing with the words, "First, it comes for the metal", Marvel Comics' EIC C.B. Cebulski has just announced a new Star Wars comic book event for the summer. Saying "A new crossover comes to Marvel's Star Wars comics with a threat no one will see coming… A new Star Wars crossover begins this summer in Star Wars, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, Star Wars: Darth Vader, and Star Wars: Bounty Hunters." I wouldn't be a droid with a tease that that; it's bad enough being an enslaved sentient being in a society that not ever the good guys seem to challenge. I suppose, a long time ago was a different time. Literally. And now Ajax Sigma is going to fight back.
