It turns out December 31st wasn’t the last day to buy classic Star Wars digital comics after all — today Marvel has released 62 collections of Star Wars comics on Comixology. The books were originally produced by publisher Dark Horse, but Marvel has since taken over those duties now that it has become the new home for Star Wars comics, a move that was announced more than a year ago. Dark Horse had previously been the home of Star Wars comics since 1991, and moving forward Marvel will be producing its own, new comics based in the sci-fi universe, the first of which is set to debut next week. The shift in publisher coincides with a huge year for the Star Wars franchise, which will culminate in the release of a brand new film, The Force Awakens, on December 18th.
