Star Wars: Ahsoka #2

History

The series was announced on February 2, 2024, at StarWars.com as Ahsoka's first dedicated solo Marvel run, following the same creative team — writer Rodney Barnes and alternating pencillers Steven Cummings and Georges Jeanty — who had previously adapted both seasons of The Mandalorian for Marvel. Jeanty takes the pencil from Cummings beginning with this second issue, establishing the alternating-artist pattern used throughout the miniseries. Editor Mark Paniccia, a long-time Marvel Star Wars steward, shepherded the series, and Barnes described adapting the character as 'truly an honor,' calling Ahsoka 'the essence of classic Star Wars.' The eight-issue structure maps one comic issue to each episode of the Disney+ show's first season.
