"For me it's one of the greatest honors and pleasures to highlight the wonderful diversity of characters in comics," artist Javier Garrón told StarWars.com. "Maybe we come to stories because it's sci-fi, or action, or thriller, or whatever, really. But if we stay in them, if those stories stick with us, it is because of the characters."
