Star Wars: TIE Fighter (comic series)


From a certain point of view, the rebels are traitors to the Empire, putting the innocent people of the galaxy at risk. In the last days of the Galactic Civil War, an elite squadron of TIE fighter pilots, known as Shadow Wing, is assembled to protect Imperial interests.

Starting in April, you'll meet these brave pilots in Star Wars: TIE Fighter, a new Marvel miniseries set in the time of Alexander Freed's forthcoming novel Alphabet Squadron, which we are happy to announce will be a trilogy. The exciting new crossover series from Del Rey and Marvel comics, set after Return of the Jedi, will follow the brutal fallout during the fall of the Empire from both sides of the battle.

The comic series is written by Jody Houser, who penned both Marvel's Star Wars: Thrawn series and the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story comic adaptation, with art by Roge Antonio and other acclaimed artists, including cover art created by the team behind the recent Darth Vader comic series, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Elia Bonetti.

wow this is basically like a comic where the nazis are the good guys, wtf???????????????????????

Alphabet Squadron? ....Really?

Also I don’t have too high hopes, but I’ll see the first issue.

Cool, always wanted to know more about the events after RotJ but before the empire fell

One thing I do like in the new Canon is a lot more space battles and ace pilots.

I'm just happy that were finally getting more material that is set AFTER RotJ. Long overdue, imo.

Don't worry, they'll realize the error of their ways and switch sides halfway through the story arc.

Sounds good, but reading this will make me sad I lost my Collectors CD Rom long ago.

The Windows 95 version graphics are not a good trade for the lack of imuse.

Mediocre first issue:

Yeah, I expected some more space warfare tactics stuff tbh

I legit forgot about this tbh.....also wow not even an issue in and we already have a defector. Well then....guess it's sowing the seeds to get the others on board.

Also the lax on discipline/professionalism is kinda grating.

Yeah, if one of the series' main purposes is to hype the upcoming Alphabet Squadron novel, it'll really have to course-correct in the issues to come... I was expecting more from this.

I still can't get over the name, Alphabet squadron?....That doesn't sound Imperial like at all.

Alphabet Squadron is supposed to take place after RotJ. The pilots it is centered around are from the New Republic.

Ah....well guess that makes more sense, although now I'm kinda disappointed thinking this was gonna be Imperial focused.
