Hot on the heels of the announcement of the Boba Fett: Black, White and Red series, Marvel Comics have added Han Solo: Hunt for the Falcon to their list of releases for September 2025.
Learn about STAR WARS BOBA FETT – BLACK, WHITE & RED and STAR WARS: HAN SOLO – HUNT FOR THE FALCON, two new Marvel comic series launching in September.
New York, NY— June 18, 2025 — Marvel Comics is thrilled to reveal two new comic series set in the galaxy far, far away, STAR WARS: BOBA FETT – BLACK, WHITE & RED and STAR WARS: HAN SOLO – HUNT FOR THE FALCON, both launching in September. Exploring different eras of the Star Wars mythos, the two limited series are perfect standalone entry points into Marvel Comics’ acclaimed Star Wars storytelling. Packed with revelations about two of the franchise’s greatest icons and tying up a longstanding Star Wars mystery also make them must-haves for longtime fans!
Announced yesterday at StarWars.com, STAR WARS: BOBA FETT – BLACK, WHITE & RED is the third Star Wars title under Marvel’s hit Black, White & Blood imprint. Starring only the most ruthless characters, Boba Fett follows in the footsteps of previous Black, White & Red headliners Darth Vader and Darth Maul. Set across Boba’s storied history, each issue sees all-star creators team up to tell the most notorious exploits of the galaxy’s most feared bounty hunter!
The first issue will be by acclaimed writer Benjamin Percy (Wolverine) and superstar artist Chris Allen (Black Panther). Titled “The Impossible Job,” the story finds Boba Fett trapped in a situation he seemingly can’t get out of when both the Empire and an extreme Rebel faction after the same bounty as him! Fett needs to track down a deadly individual who has played both sides, and – to make things even more impossible – his target is hiding out in a volatile volcanic system!
“We’re setting a major sequence in a lava system that Fett has to navigate to hunt down the best thief in the galaxy,” Percy told StarWars.com. “I’m so lucky to join forces with artist Chris Allen, who brings his eye for dynamic action, wild layouts, and granular detail to this twisty, turny story that will keep you guessing until the end.”
“We’re really excited about this talent and stories in these issues,” Editor Mark Paniccia added. “All of them weave seamlessly into a galaxy filled with rogues, criminals, assassins and other bounty hunters and there are some very cool surprises and deep dives.”
Announced earlier this week at Newsarama, STAR WARS: HAN SOLO – HUNT FOR THE FALCON reveals an untold adventure set between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The five-part saga comes from two acclaimed modern Star Wars storytellers, writer Rodney Barnes (Star Wars: Ahsoka) and artist Ramon Rosanas (Star Wars), known for their work together on last year’s Star Wars: Inquisitors.
IN THE TIME BEFORE THE FORCE AWAKENS, WHERE IS THE MILLENNIUM FALCON?!
Less than satisfied with a settled life, Han Solo lands on the idea of reclaiming the Falcon and returning to a life of adventure. The problem is, he can’t find it. After enlisting a less than enthusiastic Chewbacca, the duo embarks upon a quest to reclaim the greatest ship in the galaxy. Standing in their way are a laundry list of rogues who have staked a claim to the Millennium Falcon as well, like the villainous scoundrel who stole the Falcon, Ducain.
“Han Solo – Hunt for the Falcon is a dream come true,” Barnes told Newsarama. “Han, Leia, Chewbacca and Lando were my heroes when I was a kid. To write an adventure that includes that quartet (and more!) is truly an honor. One huge check off my bucket list!”
“Rodney is pulling all these characters who’ve had history with the Falcon and having them cross their deadly paths,” Paniccia explained. “It’s a very fun ride that captures the heart of who Han Solo is while throwing him into some ‘uncomfortable’ situations. And Ramon Rosanas is doing some of the best work of his career on this. This is a special project for him and the detail he brings to the ships and locations is magnificent.”
