Doctor Aphra is set to headline a new ongoing comic series from Marvel starting this June, titled Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent, written by rising star Cherish Chen who spoke to Collider saying, “I cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on”.
“In my humble opinion, there isn’t a more fun character to be writing in the Star Wars galaxy than the one and only Doctor Aphra,” Chen told Collider. “Cooking up new adventures for her in this new era, throwing her into increasingly tricky moral quandaries, and testing her resolve (alongside some familiar faces) has truly been like playing in the ultimate sandbox.
“Our favorite chaos agent is back, and I cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on and for you all to see Gabriel’s incredibly dynamic art.”
Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra debuted ten years ago in Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca’s Darth Vader (2015) and instantly become a fan favourite, becoming the first-ever comic book originating Star Wars character to get their own solo comic series.
In this new story, Aphra embarks on her most unpredictable misadventures as the galaxy transforms in the wake of the Battle of Jakku. With her crimes pardoned, Aphra is enlisted by her friend Luke Skywalker to put her treasure hunting skills to good use on behalf of the New Republic!
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra – Chaos Agent #1 is out on June 18th, 2025 and is drawn by acclaimed longtime Star Wars artist Gabriel Guzman. Find out more here.
