    This summer you're going to have to find the way to your local comic shop as The Mandalorian season 1 is getting a comic adaptation. Starting in June, all eight episodes of the hit Disney Plus show will be retold in an 8-issue series for Marvel. The series is being written by Rodney Barnes (Lando: Double or Nothing) and illustrated by Georges Jeanty (The High Republic).



    Here is the cover for issue #1:

    StarWars.com spoke briefly with the writer and artist to discuss the series. On getting a chance to retell the story, Barnes said:



    Jeanty gave some insight into his approach in drawing the now iconic character and his own section of the Star Wars galaxy:



    This adaptation shouldn't come as a major surprise. The next question will of course be if season 2, The Book of Boba Fett, and other Disney Plus shows will see similar treatments in the future. As stated earlier, each episode will get its own issue but it remains to be seen how beefy each issue will be given their varying lengths. As with any adaptation, some material will certainly be on the cutting room floor. It will be interesting how the show's events will be reframed to add something new for those familiar with the show.



    Back in 2020, supplemental material was announced for The Mandalorian, which included a Marvel comic. Some of that material had since been canceled, but nothing was ever officially said about the comic. This appears to finally be the aforementioned release from Marvel, but that hasn't been confirmed.



    The Mandalorian is not the only new comic coming soon. Han Solo & Chewbacca #1 releases in March, and a new Obi-Wan series arrives in May.

    Not to seem negative, but I have no clue why anyone would want to read this. Why not put these resources to a new story, like a Mandalorian prequel comic, or side adventures between seasons two and three? I’ve already seen this story. If I want to experience it again, I’ll watch it again.

    Definitely should be a prequel or in-between episodes/seasons but still cool

    My right brain agrees with Jaxxon. But my left brain says if I saw it for sale in a comic book store, I'd buy it. :)
