Do you need more Poe Dameron and BB-8 in your life? We bet you absolutely do. After all, who can resist this dynamic duo that first captured our hearts in Star Wars: The Force Awakens? Can you believe it’s been almost ten years since they first came onto our screens? We can’t either. But what we can believe is that we have not gotten nearly enough Poe Dameron and BB-8 adventures in that time. And that’s where a brand new Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories tale comes in. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we’re getting an all-new comic mini-series starring Poe Dameron and BB-8: Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories—Codebreaker. And, like, we said, we couldn’t think of a better team to celebrate with.
At Nerdist, it’s our pleasure to exclusively reveal the main cover, cover variant, and more from the upcoming Poe Dameron comics. Here are all the exciting details of what’s coming our way.
Check out the incredible cover for Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories—Codebreaker #1. It makes it clear that the time has come to once again blast off with Poe Dameron and BB-8. There’s no connection like the one between a man and his droid, that’s for sure. And it sounds like we’ll be getting Poe Dameron in all his heartthrob glory in this comic series. As a bonus, this mini-series is written by someone who is a true, true fan of the characters, so we know their stories are in good hands. Aces! Just looking at this first artwork, we know we’re going to be on a high-octane adventure that will bring our excitement into hyperdrive.
Here’s the official synopsis of Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories—Codebreaker:
Poe Dameron is a confident, hotshot ace Resistance pilot. He and his outspoken droid companion, BB-8, have seen plenty of action against the First Order. Now, they are sent on a mission to investigate a piece of First Order tech used to decode Resistance messages, but standing between them and their objective is an infamous TIE fighter pilot. Can Poe out-fly his enemy, or will the mission go down in flames before it begins?
Can he?! Well, if he doesn’t get too caught up in his own excellence. Hopefully, BB-8 can keep him focused. But if anyone can out-fly the enemy, it’s Poe Dameron.
Dark Horse and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories—Codebreaker is written by Star Wars: Bounty Hunters writer Ethan Sacks, and joined by artists Marc Yarza (Werewolf Frankenstein), Jose Marzan Jr. (Y The Last Man), and colorist Nicola Righi (Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories), with letterer Comicraft. This mini-series will feature covers by Diego Galindo (Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire), with issue #1 featuring variants by Pye Parr (PETROL HEAD) and Sean Gordon Murphy (Chrononauts). You can take a look at Sean Murphy’s variant cover for the first issue of Codebreaker, above. Once again, we’re getting action in full force.
Meanwhile, writer Sacks shares, “A decade ago, I sat in a Hollywood theater for the world premiere of ‘The Force Awakens’ as a reporter for the New York Daily News. I remember being as captivated by Oscar Isaac’s performance as Poe as I was of that charming, rolling astromech at his side. Little could I possibly have dreamed that I would get a chance to add to their stories as part of the 10-year anniversary celebration.”
Getting to actually create the story of one of your favorite characters is the true dream of any fan. But the second truest dream is getting to see excellent new stories come to life for your favs. So, everyone is getting their wishes granted. We can’t wait to get our hands on this new Poe Dameron comic mini-series.
