A new ongoing Star Wars comic was announced today (simply titled Star Wars) and it looks to be taking things back to basics, as it will take place in just the continuity of A New Hope. The new series will be written by Brian Wood, illustrated Carlos D’Anda, and the cover done by Alex Ross.

More information on the comic can be found over at io9.com, where they have an exclusive sneak peak at the title, as well as an interview with Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley.

This new comic series has definitely caught my interest, as not only will it be cool read new stories with the classic trilogy characters, but it will be nice to just read some stories without having to worry about a ton of continuity issues.
