Marvel Announces Star Wars: Shattered Empire Event

Marvel Comics' first entry into Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been revealed as Shattered Empire, a Star Wars comic book event series launching in September.

Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a series of books that will cover the decades that passed between the end of Return of the Jedi and the beginning of The Force Awakens.

If Phil Noto's cover to Shattered Empire #1 is any indication, it look like the series will pick up right where Return of the Jedi left off.

No further details about the series, or the creative team, were revealed at this time. We're sure we'll learn more by the time Marvel's September solicitations role around.
