Solo’s Qi’ra Is Back With Her Own Marvel Star Wars Comic

When Qi’ra stole Han Solo’s carbonite-encased physique within the ultimate pages of War of the Bounty Hunters #1, it introduced one of many Solo film’s greatest characters into the period of the unique trilogy. So it shouldn’t be any shock that she’s shifting from being a part of a Star Wars comics occasion to main her personal.

IGN introduced {that a} new collection by Charles Soule, titled Star Wars: Crimson Reign, will function the sequel to War of the Bounty Hunters, by which a wide range of characters all through the galaxy try to search out Han and both rescue him or flip him into the very best bidder. The title, in fact, is a reference to the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate, which Qi’ra started main after the occasions of Solo, albeit underneath the key command of Darth Maul. But since Maul perished previous to the occasions of A New Hope, it appears that evidently the previous Corellian has seized full management of one of many galaxy’s largest—and strongest—crime organizations.

“While Qi’ra plays a huge part in War of the Bounty Hunters, that event is really a Boba Fett story. I have a bigger story I’m going to tell with Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn, and it’s all connected to the reasons she kicked things off in War of the Bounty Hunters in the first place,” Soule informed IGN. “Crimson Reign, which continues what I plan as a trilogy that began with War of the Bounty Hunters, is a great example of how I like to write Star Wars stories.”

So Soule clearly has one other collection in thoughts after Reign, which is ok by us. He, together with Greg Pak within the present Darth Vader collection, have finished an unbelievable job convey the varied eras, characters, and plot factors all through the three trilogies collectively by way of their tales set within the Age of Rebellion. It’s made the Star Wars galaxy really feel way more cohesive than the films ever did, and the franchise is significantly better for it.

Crimson Reign will probably be a five-issue restricted collection, starting in November 2021, with artwork by Steve Cummings. For extra, together with challenge #1’s variant covers, head over to IGN.
