Marvel Comics has released an advance four page preview and cover gallery from Charles Soule and Marcho Checchetto’s Obi-Wan and Annakin #1.
This is undoubtedly one of those times in which the collector that gets just one copy is in a distinct minority, as there are a few variants to covet with this release. For instance, many fans will feel cheated if they can’t get Skottie Young’s excellent Wampa cover, and the action figure variant will quicken the hearts of many collectors that remember ripping open blister packs on their birthdays or holiday mornings.
You can pre-order Obi-Wan and Annakin #1 from comic retailers until next Monday, December 7th, and it arrives in comic shops and in digital storefronts on January 6th.

Though they have grown closer through training, the road has been a difficult one. Now, called to a remote planet for assistance, Master and Padawan’s skills will be put to the test. And their relationship will be pushed to the breaking point. Before they became brothers-in-arms during the Clone Wars, be there as Soule and Checchetto weave a tale of the Jedi at the height of their power, and the foundations of their doomed friendship.
