The final chapter of the Skywalker saga is returning in an exciting new form. This February, Marvel Comics will release a five-issue limited comic series adapting Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the 2019 film that brought the legendary Star Wars saga to its dramatic conclusion.

Written by Jody Houser and illustrated by Will Sliney, the adaptation promises more than just a faithful retelling of the film. Fans can look forward to new scenes not included in the movie, adding fresh dimensions to the Resistance’s final stand against the First Order, the shocking return of Emperor Palpatine, and Rey’s climactic confrontation with Kylo Ren.

In the interest of full transparency, I confess that I stopped attending Halloween costume parties about 20 years ago.  The reason for this is three-fold:

  1. My costume ideas are lame.
  2. I am lazy.
  3. My competitiveness is such that if I can’t be the best at something, I would (almost always) rather not play.

That said, I have an overabundance of admiration (read: jealousy) for the amazing Cosplayers who go out of their way to make fan conventions like New York Comic Con and Anime NYC such over-the-top hits! Seriously, without all these passionate fans impeccably dressed as their favorite characters from Anime, Comics, Movies and Manga, the experience wouldn’t be nearly as head-spinning.
