Marvel to Publish the Beardless Star Wars Tales of Porter Engle – Bleeding Cool News

Porter Engle? When Phase II of Star Wars: The High Republic was announced at the beginning of the year, Marvel Comics promised they would publish a project from Charles Soule exploring Jedi character Porter Engle's back story. And now that series has been announced for November as The Blade #1. Not to be confused with Blade #1 which Marvel Comics is also publishing in November. Okay, it is going to get confusing isn't it? Porter Engle is known as the Blade of Bardotta, a bearded pirate of the Jedi Order who retired and becomes a cook. This series will look at everything that led him there, in the days before he grew that beard.
