Marvel Comics have announced that Star Wars: The Force Awakens character Poe Dameron will be getting his own comic series, beginning in April.
A description of this comic mini-series can be read below:
“The new comic debuting in April focuses on the lead-up to the opening scene of The Force Awakens, which saw Poe seeking out mysterious traveler Lor San Tekka (Max von Sydow) on the planet Jakku for a key to finding the missing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).”
The Poe Dameron comic series will be written by Charles Soule (Lando and Obi-Wan & Anakin comic series) and artwork by Phil Noto (who illustrated the recent young readers novel Before the Awakening).
Soule is quoted as saying the following on the series:
“It’s not as instinctive in some ways as writing a story about, say, Lando Calrissian was for me – I’ve been thinking about Lando Calrissian for 30 years, whereas Poe Dameron I’ve been thinking about for six months. It’s silly not to explore the idea of a guy who grew up steeped in the Rebellion and the older Republic and all of those myths and legends. If you think about it, he grew up the way we did, hearing all of these stories.”
In addition, Noto had the following to add on looking at Oscar Isaac’s filmography to help with the series:
“Seeing so much of him on screen, it’s easier in a way to act that part out in my head while I’m drawing: How would Oscar Isaac act in this situation as Poe Dameron?”
