Marvel Comics Cancels Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker?

Published Mon, 27 Jul 2020 13:59:56 -0500

Bleeding Cool is continuing to read the tea leaves and the message postings in dark corners of the web to tease out which of the comic books Marvel Comics solicited before the shut down will be published and which won't be. We've seen Runaways scheduled for February, we've seen Amazing Mary Jane cancelled and we have no idea about Darkhold Alpha, but then we never did. But one title's cancelling may be more significant than others, the planned adaptation of Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker.

Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker was to follow successful adaptations of Star Wars movies in comic book form, both past and present, and even enabled creators to introduce lines or scenes that were left on the cutting room floor or felt sadly absent (Leia hugging Chewbacca after Han died was a significant one).

However, word has reached my ears from informed sources that Marvel Comics will no longer be publishing the series. Intended to begin in June, this is how the first issue was solicited. Whatever that unrevealed story or extended and deleted scenes recreated comic book form will have to wait for another day.

So how that Marvel Comics MIA List looking now? We're losing Savage Sword Of Conan which was stealth cancelled last year, but was late and so got caught up in the other titles.
