Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett is coming back, but in an unexpected fashion. The iconic bounty hunter and his supporting cast from the Disney+ show are making the jump to comic books.
How is Star Wars’ Book of Boba Fett returning?
Marvel Comics has announced a new comic book adaptation of The Book of Boba Fett. The series will adapt the show’s storyline, so it won’t feature any new material with Boba Fett in it. The seven-issue comic book miniseries arrives on shelves on September 9, 2026.
Boba Fett’s return will be in a seven-issue comic book series written by Rodney Barnes and illustrated by Will Sliney. The series will see the return of other characters from the show, like Garsa Fwip, Dokk Strassi, Mok Shaiz’s majordomo, and more.
The comic book’s synopsis, similar to the live-action series, reads, “After escaping from the Sarlacc Pit, Boba Fett has taken over Jabba the Hutt’s syndicate—but does he have what it takes to keep Tatooine in order?”
“I’ve loved Boba Fett since early childhood!” said Barnes. “Adapting this series has been a complete joy, and I can’t wait for Star Wars fans to read it!”
Check out the comic book’s main cover by Alex Maleev, along with variant covers by E.M. Gist, Jerry Ordway, Pete Woods, and Rickie Yagawa below.
The Book of Boba Fett premiered on Disney+ in 2021. The Star Wars show was a hit with some fans. However, no continuation has been announced. The series sits at a 66% on Rotten Tomatoes, with a lower audience score at 48%. Fans looking to get their fill of action in Beskar armor will need to divert their attention to The Mandalorian and Grogu. Disney will continue the Star Wars cinematic adventures with Star Wars: Starfighter, releasing next year.
The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett are streaming on Disney+.
