As announced last evening on
StarWars.com, Marvel Comics will be producing 48 variants throughout the year to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of
Star Wars (that's
A New Hope to you and me)!
You can view the first 8 images (some with the titles they belong to, and others with just the artwork) over at
StarWars.com. Presumably, as Marvel publishes four
Star Wars titles per month, and there are 12 months per year (ok slowpokes; 4 x 12 = 48!, these variants will only appear on the
Star Wars titles. No cross promotion between
X-Men or
The Avengers it would seem. So this first batch would be for the
January 2017 and
February 2017 solicited comics, with more coming in
March 2017 as well.
Stay tuned for more info on these as it develops.
