We have the announcement for the new Poe Dameron comic from Marvel Comics. Charles Soule knocked the writing out of the park with the book focused on Lando Calrissian and it so far the Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan team up book has been nothing short of great. With a character as instantly beloved as Poe Dameron has been, it seems like this series will be a no-brainer. That it’s an ongoing is even more exciting.
Here’s the official release:
