The Universe’s Boyfriend, Poe Dameron, is Getting a Comic Book

Marvel really knows what people want. I mean other than Ant Man, obviously.

The comics giant is now bringing Poe Dameron, star of that small holiday break-out hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to the page with his own series. Come April, fans will get a look at the X-wing pilot’s backstory leading up to The Force Awakens with Star Wars: Poe Dameron, written by Charles Soule (Star Wars: Lando) and drawn by Phil Noto (Star Wars: Chewbacca).

The comics will take a look at Dameron as a character, taking him through the Star Wars galaxy to meet a number of characters, new and old, and give more depth to the franchise’s latest iteration. Oscar Isaac’s character made quite a stir on the internet when the film came out in December, as many began to speculate that he could be the first gay/queer protagonist in the Star Wars universe. This comic has the opportunity to expand on what has so far only been theories and rumors.
