“The story of Kylo Ren (and, of course, Ben Solo) always seemed like something grand to me,” Soule shared. “It was clear that there was a lot more to explore beyond the events of the films, and it was a great pleasure—and challenge—to tell new stories about one of Star Wars’s most famous villains.” I'm glad to be able to do this again, and even more excited to be reunited with the incredible Will Sliney, with whom we began working onThe Rise of Kylo Renmany years ago. First the Rise, then the Reign, and now the Fall... it just feels right.”

“The story we told in Rise is a key part of Ben Solo's story. Fall is no less important.I'm excited to draw her again and can't wait to get her into the hands of readers."
