IDW published the U.S. version of the graphic novel adaptation of Rogue One in December 2017. The IDW version has a different cover than those published overseas.
Star Wars: Rogue One Graphic Novel Adaptation a - IDW Publishing, U.S. (December 2017)
Like previous adaptation in this series, this all-age graphic novel does not show the more brutal scenes from the movie. For example, when Galen Erso shields the other researchers on Eadu, the movie shows the researchers being gunned down by Krennic's guards. In the comic, we see Galen shield the researchers and the next panel show sCassian Andor aiming his sniper rifle at Galen. In the next panel we can see from Cassian's face and his lowering of the rifle that something horrible happened. This is followed by a panel showing Krennic punching Galen, knocking him to the ground.
While it seems redundant to have both Marvel and IDW publish movie adaptations, I actually like that we are getting two versions of these stories.
