Star Wars: Revelations #1 by Marvel Comics has a last order cutoff this Monday and to advertise the e-book, Marvel has launched a 7-page unlettered artwork preview that hints at what to anticipate within the e-book.
Should you’re unfamiliar with Star Wars: Revelations, it’s a yearly comedian (that began in 2022) that teases the subsequent yr’s comedian storylines. Final yr’s model of Star Wars: Revelations by Marc Guggenheim launched Ajax Sigma and the Inferno Squad to comics and laid breadcrumbs for what would finally develop into Star Wars: Darkish Droids. I nonetheless assume Star Wars Revelations #1(2022) is an honest comedian hypothesis play. Particularly the 1:50 by Jim Jim Cheung because it was seemingly underordered because of the $5.99 cowl worth.
New: Preview of Star Wars Visions – Peach Momoko #1
The aim of the comedian is what makes it intriguing. This yr’s model of Star Wars: Revelations is totally different than final yr’s although. As an alternative of 1 steady story/fever dream it will likely be an anthology of brief tales that may act as a preview for various runs. Every story may have it’s personal writer, illustrator, and colorist.
Very similar to the “Satan’s Reduce” anthology from DSTLRY that got here out earlier this yr, having a bunch of preview tales in a single situation makes it RIPE for first appearances. Even earlier than the brand new sequence’ begin.
The credit web page from the artwork preview exhibits that we’re getting tales from:
Star Wars (essential run)
Mace Windu (new mini-series)
Jango Fett (new mini-series)
Darth Vader (present run)
The Excessive Republic (Section III)
Physician Aphra (present run)
Jabba the Hutt (I’m guessing this will likely be a brand new mini-series)
*Notice: There are not any “Star Wars: Bounty Hunters” tales as a result of that run is ending this February with situation #42

I’ll add the total preview under however there are some things that stood out to me.
Rik Duel vs. Bane Malar – Discuss deep cuts. I discussed the opposite day that Rik Duel was a giant a part of the 1977 comedian run from Marvel earlier than Darkish Horse took over within the 90s. You may study extra about him right here.
And Bane Malar, who was initially in Jabba’s Palace throughout The Return of the Jedi however was lower for time within the last model. He was finally resurrected in a card recreation earlier than changing into canon in his first look, Jabba’s Palace, final yr. I wrote a put up on this earlier this yr. Verify that out right here.
The 2nd print 1:25 virgin variant by Alex Maleev may very well be a HUGE e-book if Bane turns into a daily character in comics. The listings on eBay are already $100+ for uncooked.
Dengar Stays – Regardless that Star Wars: Bounty Hunters is ending it seems Dengar will keep on in upcoming comics. There’s a preview of him interacting with a boss-looking character who I’m not accustomed to. I could also be blanking on who they’re however till somebody corrects me I’m going to imagine it’s their first appearances.
Prequel Period Tales – With Mace Windu and Jango Fett getting their very own sequence in 2024 it will likely be attention-grabbing to see how a lot is teased in Revelations. I’d think about that each of those minis will likely be background exploration for 2 fan favourite characters and can fill in gaps within the character fairly than introduce main lore altering occasions. However nonetheless, I’d assume among the new characters for these sequence will present up right here first.

Who is that this? – On one of many pages we see a Nexu preventing somebody in gold plated armor and a crimson cape. I really feel like I ought to know who that is however I can’t put my finger on it. I’ve carried out some digging to try to determine who they’re and have to date come up clean. At this second I’m simply going to imagine it’s a brand new character and that is their first look. However I don’t know that for sure.
No Thrawn? – The most important shock on this sequence is the absence of Grand Admiral Thrawn contemplating he’s on the duvet A. I feel he’ll most likely make an look someplace on this e-book. It might be odd to have him on the duvet if he didn’t. My guess is Darth Vader in a flashback or one thing to let followers know that he knew Vader earlier than Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances comes out.

How does the Excessive Republic slot in? – The preview web page for the Excessive Republic story by Cavan Scott doesn’t give us a lot to invest on. Nonetheless, I do assume that the aim of this story will likely be to border the general narrative of Section III. In different phrases, I feel we’ll get our first look, in comics no less than, of what the massive image finish recreation goes to appear to be.
All in all, that is wanting like a beast of a difficulty that COULD warmth up when it’s launched since there are more likely to be a bunch of latest characters. That being stated don’t purchase something simply because I prefer it. It’s your cash. You’re employed laborious for it. Solely spend it on stuff you actually need.
