Marvel To Release "Star Wars: Classified" Series

Ever since Marvel reclaimed the Star Wars comic book publishing rights from Dark horse, they have been producing some of the best Star Wars stories ever told.  One of the most popular titles, if not the most popular title, was Darth Vader.  The title will soon end it's run, completing it's tale, and saddening it's readers.  It was a colossal success and it left readers wondering what will fill the void.  Not wanting to discourage their readers for very long, Marvel recently announced that there is going to be a new series beginning in December, with the tentative title Star Wars: Classified.  The series will be ongoing, and is being written by Gillian and Kev Walker (Uncanny Inhumans).  two of the issues have already been written, and there will be numerous variant titles from artists which include Dave Dorman, Jamie McKelvie, Elsa Charretier, Rod Reis, Salvadore Larroca, John Tyler Christopher, Annie Wu, and Declan Shalvey.

Currently, there is nothing known about what the new series will cover, or even if Star Wars: Classified will actually be it's title.  This may have been used to hide the title of the new series because the name may give away what the run will be about.  However, if this remains the title, then maybe the series will be a prelude to the upcoming Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.  Since the movie deals with the secret mission that Jyn Erso and her companions have been given (stealing the "classified" plans for the Death Star), then maybe this will be what the comic book storyline will cover.  However, if this is truly an ongoing series, then this may not be the case, because if this covers the lead up to the movie, then one would have to assume that once it reached the start of the film's story, then the run would end.  Of course, it could just jump to another story in the Star Wars universe.  Whatever it covers, the comic book should be an amazing read.

Look for the new Star Wars title this December.
