01 · Summary
What the series is about
Six-issue comic adaptation of the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series, including Obi-Wan's rescue of young Leia and confrontation with Reva and Darth Vader.
Obi-Wan Kenobi was published by Marvel during 2023–2024. IDS classifies the series as Canon, places it in the Reign of the Empire era, and labels its format as TV adaptation.
The current run record is 6 issues. That run description is kept separate from variants, collected editions, annuals, one-shots, and reprints so collectors can distinguish the story sequence from the physical formats used to publish it.

Where it sits in Star Wars comics
Obi-Wan Kenobi belongs to the Canon side of the archive and is indexed as a tv adaptation from Marvel. Its publication span is 2023–2024, with the current IDS run record listed as 6 issues.
IDS treats publisher, continuity, run structure, physical issue format, variants, and later collections as separate metadata fields so a trade paperback or alternate cover is not mistaken for a different story issue.

07 · IDS lens
What this comic can reveal
This series is useful for examining authoritarian institutions, military hierarchy, surveillance, coercion, and the ways political power becomes visible through ordinary encounters as well as major battles.
IDS reads those themes alongside the series publication history, asking how comics give recurring institutions more narrative space than a film or television episode can.
08 · Source record
Publication and collector sources
IDS separates publication facts and creator metadata from independently written summaries and analysis. Representative covers are resolved from bibliographic records and may depict a collected edition rather than the exact first issue of the run.
