Marvel Comics to Publish Star Wars: Beckett in August

Published Tue, 22 May 2018 13:25:39 -0500

I'm seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story on Thursday. I am planning to be introduced to Beckett, played by Woody Harrelson, there and then. But if I really want to understand him, apparently I have to wait until August for this Marvel one-shot comic book by Marvel creators Gerry Duggan, Will Sliney, Edgar Salazar, and Marc Laming.

TOBIAS BECKETT taught HAN SOLO everything he knows about surviving hoodlum-filled cantinas and backwater worlds. But who is this career outlaw and why is ENFYS NEST— one of the galaxy's most dangerous and brutal marauders — so dead set on taking him down once and for all? Find out in this original tale of a man who has gamed star system after star system, but at a cost that no heist can make up for.
