The Star Wars: The Force Awakens Adaptation by Chuck Wendig is a comic book retelling of the 2015 film, published by Marvel Comics. The series adapts the movie into comic format across multiple issues, following Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron as the First Order rises and the search for Luke Skywalker begins.

Wendig was a logical choice for this project, having already written the Star Wars: Aftermath novel trilogy that leads directly into the events of The Force Awakens. His deep knowledge of the new Star Wars canon made him well-suited to translate the film’s story into a different medium.

The adaptation is available both as individual issues and in collected volumes. For readers who prefer prose, Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy covers the story leading up to the film, while this comic adaptation covers the film itself.
