I return to Star Wars comics in IDW’s STAR WARS ADVENTURES ANNUAL 2018!

July 30, 2020January 24, 2018 by John Jackson Miller

Jedi are trained diplomats, but farmboys? Not so much! But Luke has to learn in a hurry as he’s forced to pinch-hit for Leia on a diplomatic mission of major importance to the protocol-obsessed Sarkans — and even Threepio might not be enough to save him from starting an intergalactic incident! Will Leia have to bail him out? I share the story in Star Wars Adventures Annual 2018, releasing April …

Deal the cards — STAR WARS: CANTO BIGHT hits the shelves!

July 30, 2020December 5, 2017 by John Jackson Miller

Star Wars: Canto Bight is now on sale, in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook! Four interconnected novellas describe the casino world from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where the wealthy and powerful go to escape (and ignore) the galaxy’s troubles. All stories set the same night! I’m joined by Saladin Ahmed, Rae Carson, and Seanan McGuire (writing as Mira Grant). The audiobook’s great, with my story, “The Ride,” read by Jonathan …

My next Halo work appears in HALO: RISE OF ATRIOX!

July 30, 2020May 5, 2017 by John Jackson Miller

It’s was an insanely busy April for me, event-wise, with Galaxy Comics’ Anniversary Star Trek Day in Memphis followed by Star Wars: Celebration in Orlando and Planet Comicon in Kansas City — and May starts out busy, too, with two events in the Chicago area May 6… 12 p.m.: Algonquin Public Library 3 p.m.: Arlington Heights Public Library …and then another at the Portage County Public Library in downtown Stevens Point, …

I return to Tatooine in October in FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW — and to Star Wars Celebration next week!

July 30, 2020April 7, 2017 by John Jackson Miller

Quite a lot of news to tell!

You can find the official announcement here, and also below: When Star Wars: A New Hope was first released in 1977, part of its appeal was that the world it presented felt alive. …

This week adds a couple of releases to the shelf — or, rather, one book and one audiobook. First off, Wednesday sees the release from Marvel of Star Wars Legends Epic Collection: The Old Republic Vol. 2, comprising issues #19-37 of …

Dispatches from Ice Planet Wisconsin!

July 30, 2020January 17, 2017 by John Jackson Miller

Winter is in full swing here in the wilds of Wisconsin, along with a pretty hairy ice storm that’s hours old as I write this. Fortunately I’m inside, writing away — and speaking of hairy, I have new reading material in the new Planet of the Apes: Tales from the Forbidden Zone anthology from Titan Books! Edited by Rich Handley and Jim Beard, the book draws upon the original five …

Of royalty lost: Remembering Carrie Fisher

July 30, 2020December 27, 2016 by John Jackson Miller

We all learned a few hours ago that Carrie Fisher passed away today, following a heart attack on Friday. Photo by Riccardo Ghilardi My initial response — on social media and off — was that I had no words. In fact, I probably have too many. I will try to organize a few now. It probably won’t help, but it’s better to do something than nothing. This has been a …
