Wednesday 3rd July is the day you’ll be heading to your local comic store, checking the letterbox or opening an app to check out the first issue of Star Wars: Inquisitors from writer Rodney Barnes and interior artist Ramon Rosanas, wrapped in a delicious Nick Bradshaw cover. Here we also see two of the variant covers, from Alex Maleev and Marvel Star Wars legend Walt Simonson.
A new miniseries kicking off July 3 from writer Rodney Barnes and artist Ramon Rosanas, Inquisitors follows the Empire’s Jedi hunters as they narrow in on a new target: Tensu Run, a survivor of Order 66 looking to spread hope and rebuild the Jedi Order. He has won the attention of Darth Vader, who is determined to have Tensu killed at any cost.
“It’s such an honor to be writing the very first Inquisitors solo story!” Barnes tells StarWars.com. “I love this time period of Star Wars lore because it’s the one I grew up on — when Darth Vader and the Empire were imposing their will on the entire galaxy. Plus, I got to create an all-new legendary Jedi with Tensu Run! Truly the best of times!”
Back in 2020 we had the great pleasure of chatting with Walt Simonson on Canon Fodder, part of Empire40 celebrating four decades of The Empire Strikes Back.
