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.

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. If you’ve been to one of these fan conventions, I think you will feel me on this: Cosplayers are the Martial Artists and Fire Jugglers of fan conventions, and they deserve respect.

Ladies, gentlemen, and inter-dimensional beings, gather ’round for a cosmic adventure through the lens of a Comic Con rookie! Hold on to your utility belts and power-up those light sabers because, folks, we’re about to dive headfirst into the whirlwind that was my inaugural voyage to New York Comic Con. Now, before you start judging my ‘capturing cosplayers’ skills, let me lay it out there – my game was weak. But hey, in my defense, I was too busy getting lost in the kaleidoscope of geekdom that is NYCC!
