Marvel has been crushing it lately with their Star Wars Universe of comic books. Whether it’s the myriad of miniseries that cover fan favorite characters like Lando or Chewbacca or the ongoing Darth Vader series, the printed galaxy far, far away has allowed for a much deeper story to be told.

And now we’ve got the equivalent of the “buddy cop team-up” flick in the newest announced series Obi-Wan & Anakin.

Set in a period before the Clone Wars, the series will see Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his padawan Anakin S
kywalker called upon to help a remote planet that called upon the Jedi Order for assistance. But the two soon find danger for themselves on said planet.

Lando writer Charles Soule will pen this story worth art being handled by Shattered Empire illustrator Marco Checchetto.

The book, which was first announced at New York Comic Con, is set to hit comic book shops this January.
