Can't come as much of a surprise to most.

Quote :: For over 20 years, Dark Horse was the publisher of Star Wars comics and graphic novels. In 2015, that will change.

Disney has announced that beginning next year, Marvel will take over publishing duties. “In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe,” said Carol Roeder, director of Lucasfilm franchise publishing, Disney Publishing Worldwide.

Last year, Dark Horse published The Star Wars #1, an adaptation of the original George Lucas rough draft screenplay for the film. The publisher has also expanded the universe with titles like Star Wars: Legacy and Star Wars: Dark Empire.
