In the years since he faded to nothing from a single kiss,\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0has gradually fleshed out Kylo Ren<\/a>. Or rather, a single writer has\u2014Charles Soule, with the help of art teams led by Will Sliney and Luke Ross, have explored how Ben Solo fell<\/a> and took charge of the Knights of Ren<\/a> and his early days<\/a> as Supreme Leader of the First Order. Now, with the character\u2019s solo movie as gone as he is, Lucasfilm is continuing the Ren train with yet another comic.<\/p>\n

Later this year, Soule and Sliney will team again for\u00a0The Fall of Kylo Ren,\u00a0a five-issue miniseries set before RIse of Skywalker. Set after the Legacy of Vader comic, Ren comes back to the First Order and finds that Generals Hux and Pryde have \u201ctorn it apart with treacherous ambition.\u201d Like Sith masters before him, Kylo intends to put both men in their place and create a stronger First Order through everyone\u2019s fear of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the one book I\u2019ve been dying to get back on,\u201d Sliney said in a statement to IGN<\/a>. \u201cEver since Charles and I worked on The Rise of Kylo Ren, we knew we were a part of something special. I\u2019ve never experienced a fan gorup so excited for the story when we worked on Rise, and quietly behind the scenes, we\u2019d been talking about\u00a0Fall\u00a0for a long, long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKylo\u2019s story (and Ben Solo\u2019s, of course) always felt huge to me,\u201d continued Soule. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled I get to deliver new tales for one of\u00a0Star Wars\u2019\u00a0most prominent villains one more time. It was clear that a great deal was out there to explore beyond the moments provided by the films, and it\u2019s been such a pleasure.\u201d In his newsletter<\/a>, he teased the comic would \u201cbring Kylo to where he is when we see him in\u00a0Rise of Skywalker\u2019s\u00a0opening scene. [Legacy] gave him clarity, and even a bit of happiness.\u00a0Fall\u00a0is the final piece of the puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look for\u00a0Star Wars: The Fall of Kylo Ren\u00a0to hit shelves beginning August 12.<\/p>\n
