Well that sucks. Dark Horse has put out some really great stuff and I'm sorry to see them go.
It makes sense, but I can't help but think that the license was better off with Dark Horse. They publish, what, 5 SW books a month? I just can't see Marvel being as dedicated to the franchise as that.

This.

Marvel will pump out as many titles as the market can handle. I wouldn't be surprised to see more than five monthlies.
I don't see Marvel doing five Star Wars monthlies at all. I think they'll do one monthly, and then various minis and graphic novels (all written by Bendis).
There may have been more profit in keeping the license at Dark Horse--I think they had more of an incentive to publish as many Star Wars books as they could in order to retain the license (not that it did them any good in the end). I'm sure that Marvel will flood the market with Star Wars books in 2015 and then scale it back sharply afterward. Star Wars at Marvel may ultimately be handled like Star Trek at IDW currently, IMO (one monthly and periodic minis).I don't see Marvel doing five Star Wars monthlies at all. I think they'll do one monthly, and then various minis and graphic novels (all written by Bendis).
I think they'll do multiple books a month, how it breaks out is anyone's guess. I'm sure that the goal will be to generate more profit than what they earned in licensing from Dark Horse.
