Poe Dameron Returns to Star Wars Canon in New Omnibus Collection

Poe Dameron, a central character from the Star Wars sequel trilogy, is set to return to the forefront of canon with the upcoming release of the Poe Dameron Omnibus from Marvel Comics. This extensive collection will gather all issues from the Poe Dameron comic series, offering a deeper dive into the character's exploits and the wider Resistance conflict.

The omnibus is scheduled for release on September 8 and will contain 792 pages of content. It encompasses the complete 31-issue Poe Dameron comic series, the two-issue Poe Dameron Annual series, and the mini-comic Poe Dameron 1: SaBBotage. The original Poe Dameron comic run, penned by Charles Soule with art by Phil Noto and Angel Unzueta, debuted in April 2016 and concluded in September 2018. This series explores Poe's childhood, his bond with BB-8, and the dynamic within Black Squadron, the elite unit he led.

These stories bridge the narrative gaps between the sequel films, detailing the challenges faced by Poe and his squadron before, during, and after the events of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. While focusing on Poe and his squadron, the comics also feature appearances from other prominent sequel trilogy characters such as Rey, Finn, Leia Organa, and Chewbacca.

The Poe Dameron Annual series, written by Robbie Thompson and illustrated by Nicole Virella, follows Poe and BB-8 after Poe disobeys an order from General Leia Organa, leading them to become stranded in First Order territory. Poe Dameron 1: SaBBotage, a shorter story by Chris Eliopoulos and Jordie Bellaire, is also included.

The Poe Dameron comic series expands on the character introduced in 2015's The Force Awakens, where he was portrayed by Oscar Isaac. While the films touched on his youth as a smuggler, these comics delve into his upbringing and his skills as a New Republic flyer called upon by Leia Organa for critical missions.

This omnibus offers fans a comprehensive collection of Poe Dameron's canon adventures, providing new context and further exploration of a beloved character from the sequel era.
