Article Summary

- Marvel and Kevin Smith are positioning the Star Wars/Marvel Midnight Release as a major event to drive fans to shops.

I learned tonight that Marvel Comics and Kevin Smith have confirmed to select comic book retailers that the upcoming Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles launch issue by Kevin Smith andDavid Marquez will be made a “midnight release” issue so that comic book stores that stay open late enough on Tuesday, the 12th of January, 2027, will be able to sell the comics the second the clock goes past 23:59 to 00:00.
And Kevin Smith, as well as being a movie writer, director, actor and comics writer, is also a comics retailer himself with the Secret Stash in New Jersey. And he is upping his numbers on his own comic book; he believes that this is the kind of comic that will get people who didn’t even know they still made comics to seek out their local comic shop and go and buy the first meeting of Marvel characters and Star Wars. This is a Superman #75 moment, for people who may not know much about comics but know that Captain America has never fought Darth Vader before.
Retailers will also be able to read a full copy of the first issue before they order it, with the Final Order Cut-Off date on the 23rd of November. And no spoilers, but I have also been given the nod over a few things that might be worth looking out for… skip the paragraph the red between the covers if you want no spoilers at all, but these are more teases…
“Luke Skywalker and Peter Parker’s relationship and journey is one to follow, as Peter Parker is a massive Star Wars fan and he knows how the story is meant to play out – and he might have to make that happen. Kamala Khan, Ms Marvel from New Jersey, is an even bigger fan than Spider-Man and will have the opportunity to prove it. And watch out for moments between Thanos and Han Solo. Oh, and there’s also a thing about Doctor Doom and Darth Vader as frenemies…”
