This five-issue limited series will be written by Chuck Wendig with art by Luke Ross and cover art by Esad Ribic. Wendig already has experience in the Star Wars universe as a novelist, having written Star Wars: Aftermath. Judging by that, as well as Ross’ awesome sketches of Rey seen above, this could definitely be worth all of us shoving our money at them. And what with the Star Wars comics already in existence, as well as the upcoming Poe Dameron comic scheduled for April, we’ll have lots to look forward to!

Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrives in comic form in June! Will you be reading?
