There are plenty of Star Wars comic book series, both large and small, to choose from in the post-Disney age of the franchise. With Marvel back at the helm since 2015, the galaxy far, far away has been thoroughly explored, with comics in several eras from across the Star Wars timeline. Now, Marvel's main Star Wars series is finally leaving original Star Wars movies behind and moving into the early days of the New Republic.
Does this mean Marvel's core Star Wars series will serve as a prequel of sorts to The Force Awakens? Not quite, as there's a 30-year gap between Return of the Jedi and the first of the sequel movies, which is a noticeably bigger space to play with than the over-explored era of the Empire's reign. Plenty of novels and even a handful of short comic book series have already added to it.
