‘This is the cover to THE RISE OF KYLO REN #2, written by me with art from @WillSliney. Out in January.
And yes, that’s Luke Skywalker and Ben Solo fighting the Knights of Ren.’^ from https://twitter.com/CharlesSoule/status/1187359415344795648
That’s a pretty interesting change from what I think most people so far has assumed about the Knights of Ren. A lot of people assumed they were also previous students of Luke’s Jedi academy, but it now seems like they might not even be force sensitive at all. At the very least they’ll be dark jedi, or whatver it is that the new canon decides to call non-Sith darksiders.
ZkinandBonez - Will Sliney will be 😃
I’d hoped Giuseppe Camuncoli would return for this series, but I’m not complaining about Will Sliney. From what I’ve seen so far of Sliney’s art it can be a little bit bland and “safe” at times, though his Solo series had a nice dyamic feel to it, and I’ll take “safe” any day over some of the art that has plagued the new SW comics in the last few years. At least he draws unlike some current artists. It’ll be interesting to see some actual pages from the Kylo Ren comics.
From earlier in the month…
‘As announced at NYCC, in Jan 2020 Jesus Saiz and I relaunch Marvel’s STAR WARS comic with a new #1.
The story begins just after Empire Strikes Back - first 3 pages below. CHOP!
Taking Luke Skywalker from here to the confident warrior we see in Return of the Jedi? Yes, please.’^ from https://twitter.com/CharlesSoule/status/1180226635460685825
I don’t really know anything about Jesus Saiz, but it’s good news that Soule is doing the new main series. I thought Jason Aaron did a pretty good job with the main series in 2015, but IMO the series went downhill after he left, plus the art hasn’t been particularly good either. I’m confident that Soule can do an equal, if no even better job at the new main series, especially if he’s going to focus primarily on Luke’s character growth between ESB and ROTJ.
