Joe Books Adapts Star Wars Rebels As A Cinestory Comic, Joins Frozen, Nightmare Before Christmas And Disney Princess

Canadian publisher Joe Books has a roaring trade in adapting Disney and Pixar movies as comic books – and now Dreamworks as well. The Disney Princess and Frozen titles in particular get a lot of attention.

Well, now it's time for Star Wars. As Marvel Comics stops their Star Wars Rebels title, so Joe Books begins its own.

And they have a new Avengers prose novel to add as well in September's solicitations…
