“For me, it’s one of the greatest honors and pleasures to showcase the wonderful diversity of characters in comics,” artist Javier Garrón told StarWars.com. “Maybe we come to stories because it’s sci-fi, or action, or thriller, or whatever, really. But if we stay in it, if those stories stay with us , it’s because of the characters.
