As reported on IGN.com, Marvel has announced an upcoming comic series set to release in September that serves as a prequel to Episode VII. "The Road to Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire #1" (If that title isn't a mouthful, I don't know what is...) will be out September 15th.
No specifics have been released as to the content of this series, though from the look of the teaser image below by artist Phil Noto, it seems to hint that this series will pick up immediately after the final events of Return of The Jedi.
It's presumed that the story will follow our heroes as the Rebel Alliance continues it's push against the remnants of the Empire, it's once undisputed might now shattered due to the Emperor's death. This will undoubtedly be a delicate project, as it will have to take into account the events of the 20 books that are also set to be released throughout 2015 in order to ensure proper continuity within the new Star Wars canon EU. > Get all the latest books here <
