First Look: PRINCESS LEIA #1

Lucasfilm Ltd. and Marvel Entertainment are extremely proud to present your new look at the highly anticipated PRINCESS LEIA #1 – the blockbuster new limited series set in the Star Wars™ universe! Eisner-award winning writer Mark Waid (Daredevil, S.H.I.E.L.D.) and blockbuster artist Terry Dodson (Avengers & X-Men: AXIS, Uncanny X-Men) bring you a brand new story of Leia’s quest to help her people…and her struggle to find her place in the galaxy.

When Princess Leia Organa was captured by the Empire as a Rebel spy, she never betrayed her convictions, even in the face of the complete obliteration of her home world, Alderaan. When rescue came, she grabbed a blaster and joined the fight, escaping back to the Rebel Alliance. But in the aftermath of the Rebellion’s harrowing victory and destruction of the first Death Star, the question remains – what is a princess without a world?

“How does she really cope with losing her entire world once the events around that loss have calmed down somewhat? Does she choose to be a princess of nothing – or does she set out to rebuild her heritage and civilization?” asks writer Mark Waid, in an interview with Marvel.com.

Now, follow Leia’s journey in the days following the end of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope as she searches for answers…and for hope. Witness the beginnings of the journey that transforms a princess without a home into one of the greatest leaders in the fight for freedom across the galaxy! It all begins this March, as PRINCESS LEIA #1, the explosive first issue comes to comic shops and digital devices!

Looks good. Can't wait for this.

The art looks good. I'm looking forward for this book.

Looks alright I guess.

Marvel is really trying to cash in on Star Wars ( DC ain't catching up any time soon )

Pretty sure I saw this awhile back, but can't wait for this. Liking the covers and inside art as well.

Nice

Love the art. I hope this is good because I am really anxious to get to the next mini-series that comes out after this one about Kanan.

I still want to see what disney has in store post episode VI but this is a good start I have always wondered what the reaction was for leia's actions in the death of alderaan.

will check it out but that chibi leia has me wishing they did a comedic action series in that style

Wade and Dotson on a Princess Leia mini? Seriously what Star Wars fan is going to buy this lol? So happy Marvel is putting top talent on the Star Wars titles.

I have loved what Marvel has done with issues 1 and 2 of the Star Wars series and have very high expectations for Vader! Looks like this will be on the same level! Very excited to see the stories they explore with this and Vader!

And that silhouette artwork is amazing!

D00D, that Mark Brooks cover is franking sick

Marvel really isn't holding back with top tier talent on their Star Wars titles. This is the one book I always intended to pick up but considering how much I've enjoyed Darth Vader's and Star Wars' first issues, I am really looking forward to this.

Dodson is impressing me with his artwork on here. Now I just have to wonder what Waid is planning to do with this character.

This looks really good. Not sure if I'm more excited over this or Darth Vader... *shrugs* Guess I don't have to choose.
