Along the way, Jessica and her experience with abuse and PTSD proves to be a perfect conduit for something that's at the very center of a lot of doppelganger storylines – the idea of how agency and control, or lack thereof, can shape our circumstances. Putting Jessica at the center of that kind of doppelganger story is brilliant, as it allows for the introspective and incredibly personal storytelling that Jessica's solo stories have become known for, without completely retreading the steps of a hardboiled, slice-of-life PI tale. But by the end of this first issue, it's clear The Variants is taking a much more intriguing approach to what's possible for Jessica herself, with alternate interpretations of her that simultaneously feel ingeniously groundbreaking and satisfyingly obvious, given the key qualities she has shown over the years. Across Marvel canon, Jessica has essentially either functioned as a shiny, short-lived superhero or one of the publisher's grittiest and most powerful street-level characters, with previous What If…? or alternate universe scenarios simply leaning further into one aspect or the other. What makes the mere concept of The Variants so interesting, something that only proves to be true across reading the first issue, is the idea of putting a larger-than-life multiversal story onto Jessica Jones. As those blackouts increase, and as Jessica's latest investigation reveals an incredibly-personal tie to her past, she must grapple with her own self-destructive tendencies, as well as the sudden arrival of alternate versions of herself. ↑ 12.0 12.1 MARVEL COMICS November 2015 Solicitations on newsarama.The Variants #1 follows Jessica Jones through her largely-ordinary day-to-day life, affected by a string of mysterious blackouts.↑ CHEWBACCA #2 (OF 5) on the official Previews World website ( backup link).↑ 10.0 10.1 Star Wars: Heroes For a New Hope on ( backup link).↑ Star Wars : Chewbacca on the official Edelweiss+ website ( backup link).2016 on published by Edelweiss Catalogs (archived from the original on October 11, 2017) MTV (archived from the original) places Star Wars: Chewbacca directly after Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 0 ABY. ↑ 7.0 7.1 Zalben, Alex: Exclusive: 'Star Wars' Spins Off 'Chewbacca' Into His Own Solo Adventures ().

Duggan told MTV that Noto has the right talent to be able to tell the story with or without dialogue from the main character.
#PHIL NOTO MARVEL HOW TO#
One of the first things that the creative team talked about for the series was how to handle Chewbacca's dialogue, as he does not speak in Galactic Basic Standard. According to Duggan, Lucasfilm considered Chewbacca important enough to have his own solo series, following in the footsteps of Star Wars: Princess Leia and Star Wars: Lando. White offered Duggan the chance to write a series about Chewbacca, and Duggan jumped at the chance to work on the property. The limited run series, which began releasing in October 2015, was written by Gerry Duggan with art by Phil Noto. Star Wars: Chewbacca was first announced in an MTV exclusive on July 10, 2015.
