Star Wars comics return to where it all began.

Over the last few days starwars.com released an update on their page regarding the licensing for comics and graphic novelization for 2015 and beyond.  The page with its content can be viewed here.

Effectively, with Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm over 12 months ago it has decided to pull the comic and graphic novels of Star Wars back under its own publishing arm Marvel as soon as the contract with Dark Horse expired.

Dark Horse have been exceptionally good for Star Wars, it has maintained a presence in the market place when none existed for a considerable period of time for the franchise and from an avid dark horse comic reader this will be a sad when that last Star Wars comic is produced...

The response from Dark Horse has been short but to the point and can be read here.

One can only hope that Marvel treat this franchise with the same respect that Dark Horse did and give us as many exciting characters and arcs that have popped up in the last few years too...
