Dark Horse announced yesterday that SMT Honorary Member and friend John Jackson Miller will be pulling double-duty in writing a new ongoing comics series and a novel called Knight Errant. The press release states that the comic and novel will be set 1,000 years prior to Episode I and will follow the exploits of a young female Jedi named Kerra Holt.
JJM posted to his blog that the comic is scheduled for release later this year, with the novel to follow in 2011.
JJM will be in Memphis for MidSouthCon 28 on March 12-14. Be sure to check out his panel at MSC for more information on his new project.
We received word from Jim that the signing has been moved to Saturday, November 28. Update those calendars, folks!
