Celebrarting Black History Month, artist Ken Lashley has crafted a quintet of stunning variant covers that will adorn Mace Windu #1 on 7th February, Darth Vader #43 on 14th February, Star Wars #43 and The High Republic Phase 3 #4 on 21st February and Thrawn Alliances on 28th February. Next year, Marvel Comics will once again bring its Black History Month celebration to the galaxy far, far away with a new set of Star Wars Black History Month Variant Covers. Across five stunning covers, acclaimed artist Ken Lashley honors beloved heroes of the Star Wars franchise, including characters from various Star Wars storytelling eras. Jumping into action with lightsabers and blasters, each depiction showcases the strength of these inspiring heroes and will grace Marvel’s Star Wars comic series each week in February! Here’s who will be spotlighted this year: [gallery link="file" columns="5" size="large" ids="153121,153120,153122,153123,153124"] · Mace Windu, revered Jedi and member of the Jedi High Council known for his epic feats throughout the prequel trilogy. Mace’s cover will be featured on the debut issue of his new solo limited series. Also launching in February, the series will be written by Marc Bernardin and drawn by Georges Jeanty and will reveal a dangerous mission Mace undertook before his introduction in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. · Adi Gallia, another respected Jedi Master who sat beside Mace on the High Council. Adi’s fierce battles on the frontlines of the Clone Wars have been depicted in various video games, comic books, and television series. · Kawlan Roken, brave leader of an underground network dedicated to helping surviving Jedi during the rule of the Galactic Empire. Roken debuted in last year’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+ where he helped Obi-Wan on his quest to rescue Princess Leia and this marks his first ever cover appearance. · Bell Zettifar, a young Jedi during the High Republic era. Zettifar’s journey with the Force from apprentice to full Jedi Knight has been told across Star Wars’ High Republic publishing including novels and Marvel’s own High Republic comic series. · And Captain Panaka, loyal protector of Queen Amidala. Captain Panaka is remembered for his dedication to the Queen during the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo, as seen in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. “I’ve worked with and known Ken for a long time,” Editor Mark Paniccia shared. “He’s one of the best comic book artists in the industry and one of my favorite cover artists. He brings energy and dynamism to every cover and this variant program is no exception. I’m excited for fans to see these characters illustrated in Ken’s powerful style.” “l am a huge Star Wars fan so when Mark asked if l would be interested in drawing these covers, it was a fast 'HECK Yeah,’” Lashley added. “These five covers have all the bases covered, characters we all love and know along with a few surprises for the fans. l love what I do and getting to draw every day on creations that l loved growing up is a dream come true... Purple lightsabers are all over my office--haha.” Check out all five covers now and pick them up at your local comic shop this February! For more information, visit Marvel.com.

A sketch I decided to color today. Rushed the ranking insignia plaque thing and botched it but I liked the way it turned out aside from that too much to just throw it out. Also, finished the 1st Thrawn audiobook that's part of the new canon and I flippin loved it. Bought the second book cause it was at a decent price and I'm sure I'll get the new one in july! #thrawn #thrawnalliances #thrawntrilogy #thrawntreason #sketch #drawing #starwarsart #starwars #grandadmiralthrawn https://www.instagram.com/p/BwiNO4Jla0R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nh50pep467nb
Brilliant mashup by 👇👇👇 #Repost from @isatonic with @regram.app "I have sensed a disturbance in the Force." And decided to mash different covers of Thrawn Alliences novel in a dualism style💥 Who reading this piece of starwars art?! #thrawnalliances #starwars #novel #digitalillustration #artistsofinstagram #illustration #illustrator #illustrations #illustrate #duplicity #thedarkside #theempire #darthvader #vader #sith #fanmade #anakinskywalker #MoonsithIG
Just finished #ThrawnAlliances and while I'm not awed by how good it was, as I was with the first canon Thrawn novel, I liked it a lot more after the halfway point...and not just because there's more of my autistic blue boy. Something I liked in particular was the symmetry or #StarWarsPoetry that cropped up now and again. It rhymes. 3.75/5 stars #starwarsbooks #booksta #starwars #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #books https://www.instagram.com/p/CU5AeKJIadg/?utm_medium=tumblr
Este es el exclusivo póster que tendrá la edición de @barnesandnoble para la novela de #ThrawnAlliances y que está disponible en la próxima #SDCC. . #starwars #swrepublica #sdccexclusive
365 days of sketching, day 187: had a go at the alternate cover for “Thrawn’s Alliances” and it’s an optimistic ok. Thrawn looks great though it looks like he lost some height. Also couldn’t tell the colour of the suit he was wearing so got as close as I could with I saw which was a dark green. The downside to the Anakin sketch is the face. Other than that a pretty good sketch. #365daysofsketching #day187 #starwars #thrawn #thrawnalliances #anakinskywalker #sketch
Love the way #TimothyZahn writes the characters we love. 📚 And Thrawn is an all time great member of the universe. Really looking forward to reading Alliances when it comes out! . . . . . #MindofTheModernMan #DadBlog #ManBlog #ModernMan #Podcast #ManStories #GuyStuff #Parenting #MindofModernMan #books #reading #starwars #thrawnalliances #darthvader #thrawn
In the wake of the Thrawn Alliances book announcement comes this #TBSFF pic from a first time feature account @starwarsbandai right here on the Black Series account... 💥👌🏻💥 #Thrawn #thrawnalliances #grandadmiralthrawn #vader #theempire #darthvader #starwars #sw40 #starwars40 #starwarstheblackseries #starwarsblackseries #blackseries6inch #starwars6inch #hasbro #toytribe #toypic #toypix #toyphoto #toyphotography
I am playing tier 2 of the Geonosian Territory Battle & I noticed something in the ship battle. One node forces you to use Thrawn. As an event reinforcement, you are forced to use a Vulture Droid whose ability is buzz droid! My only problem is that the vulture droids ability wasn't called a "beck and call." Others may have missed the subtly here, but I didn't. Someone over at Capital Games has been reading their Thrawn trilogy. If you haven't read it, I will leave a link to a free audible trial. Check it out. It's AMAZING!!! https://amzn.to/2XheIcv #SWGOH #GalaxyofHeroes #StarWars #StarWarsbooks #StarWarsGames #Thrawn #ThrawnLives #ThrawnAlliances #ThrawnTreason #Geonosian #GeonosianTB #TerritoryBattle #EzraLives https://www.instagram.com/p/BzSIVwNB1ht/?igshid=o15sbqg16fep
