A new comic book series from Lucasfilm and Marvel Comics, titled Chaos Agent, is expected to be released this summer. The series is centered on known grifter/archeologist Doctor Aphra. But wait! There’s more! This fan-favorite character, sometimes an antihero, sometimes a villain, will team up with none other than Luke Skywalker himself! Their adventure will have something to do with a race against the clock to find a rare artifact. The series is set in the New Republic era, post-Return of the Jedi.
Chaos Agent will boast spectacular artwork by Gabriel Guzman that enhances the storytelling of its writer, Cherish Chen. Collider recently sat down with Chen and editor Mark Paniccia to get the inside scoop where Chen shared her excitement for the project, saying in her "humble opinion, there isn’t a more fun character to be writing in the Star Wars galaxy than the one and only Doctor Aphra. Cooking up new adventures for her in this new era, throwing her into increasingly tricky moral quandaries, and testing her resolve (alongside some familiar faces) has truly been like playing in the ultimate sandbox. Our favorite chaos agent is back and I cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on and for you all to see Gabriel’s incredibly dynamic art."

Paniccia added "Aphra fans are gonna LOVE this unexpected new status quo, one that even our brilliant Doctor will struggle to navigate. Her patience will be tested, her wits will be challenged, and — say it isn’t so — her ego will get bruised! Who can outsmart the galaxy’s greatest grifter? Cherish will drop clues. See if you can solve the mystery!”
