Marvel And Star Wars 5-Issue Limited Series Crossover Event Launches In January 2027 From Kevin Smith And David Marquez

[JayC]

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm Publishing unveiled Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles, the first-ever crossover between the two beloved franchises launching in January 2027. Penned by pop culture icon Kevin Smith and drawn by Uncanny X-Men (2024) superstar David Marquez, the historic five-issue limited series assembles heroes and villains from both universes in a single story for the first time. As the Avengers, Spider-Man, and more team up with the iconic Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca, Doctor Doom will ally himself with the likes of Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire.

In 1977, the original Star Wars film reshaped pop culture for decades to come, being referenced in everything from music to film – including the pages of Marvel Comics. With the Marvel Universe being the “World Outside Your Window,” the Star Wars franchise firmly exists on Earth-616. But what could have been a narrative challenge quickly transformed into a one-of-a-kind crossover where the heroes of the Marvel Universe see the events of A New Hope unfold on Earth before their very eyes after a reality-shattering spell.

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars and pick up Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles #1 at your comic book shop in January 2027.

I don't know how I feel about this.  It sounds cool,.I think.

But the Marvel Universe has been I vaded by Godzilla, the Muppets, Jay and Silent Bob, Aliens, the Predator...and now Star Wars?!?

Talk about Incursions!

Not sure about this; Smith's work has been inconsistent recently and the whole presence seems a bit daft. Alos, not happy seeing Wanda in her classic costume again. Still, might be fun; will pick you the first issue anyways to see if it's any good

No need to give Kevin Smith any more writing assignments.  Has he even finished the Daredevil Bullseye limited series from the late 90s early 2000s?  I still won't forgive him for the "I'm too cool" quote about that where he said He never found it important for a limited series to have an ending.  Like, What?!! It's 4- 5 issues, you should have at least an idea of where it's going when you start it. How do you build up to anything in such a short amount of time. Just lazy.

not sure how that is going to work

I do have Gamora & Starlord as characters when I play Star Wars the Old Republic

I'm not sure how I feel about this, this could go a lot of ways, while it has some vibes potential...it all seems so straw graspy and pretty unnecessary, however on total point with everything Marvel comics does lately, cross-over here, cross-over there, like okay..I get it sales are kinda slow, must generate attention, I mean say don't know about Kevin's writing anymore...both in movies and comics, of course when he was first writing stuff it was actually good,, he has some classics like Batman's Widening Gyre & Caecphony, and Even at the time I enjoyed the Spider-Man & Black Cat books, but Lately I dunno, same with his poopy doopy movies, he had a bit of a excellent run with Red State and Tusk, but after that he literally farted out bad stories (and he was always overrated to me even from the jump) but like Yoga Hosers, Jay & Silent Bob Reboot, Ewwww.

I kinda just don't think this is gonna turn out good, maybe okay, but look it's just a gimmick anyways and Kevin smith is part of that. 

I would however like to see Han Solo hang out with Deadpool and Star Lord, but that might be it for a second anyways. I mean they got one thing cool...like who hasn't wanted to see Vader and Doom team up to be really evil? it's kinda perfect.

Actually did always think they could have Boba Fett crossover into the Marvel 616 like Conan.  Feel like he'd be pretty awesome.  My problem is more with Smith.
