Marvel to Adapt The Book of Boba Fett into Seven‑Issue Comic

Led by writer Rodney Barnes with art by Will Sliney, the comic is promoted as a way to revisit and deepen the divisive 2021 season.

Overview

  • Marvel announced the seven‑issue miniseries on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and set the first issue to go on sale September 9, 2026.
  • Rodney Barnes will write the adaptation and Will Sliney will illustrate it, with Barnes publicly saying he enjoyed adapting the series.
  • Marvel released cover credits for issue #1 naming a main cover by Alex Maleev plus variant covers by E. M. Gist, Jerry Ordway, Pete Woods, and a foil variant by Rickie Yagawa.
  • The comic will follow the original seven‑episode structure of the 2021 Disney+ season, a series that earned mixed reviews because some viewers questioned its focus shifts and narrative choices around characters like Din Djarin.
  • This project continues Marvel and Lucasfilm’s recent practice of converting recent Star Wars screen stories to comics and offers a format that could expand scenes, clarify character moments, or reframe parts of the TV season, though audience reaction to the adaptation is not yet known.
