   I don't know if there are comics, but there are meant to be some   
   novels. Last time I checked there are meant to be these books (not   
   necessarily in this order) starting just after Episode VI and leading   
   up to the new movie ..

       Lost Stars   
       Smuggler's Run   
       The Weapon of a Jedi   
       Moving Target   
      
   The all come under the sub-grouping banner of "Journey to The Force   
   Awakens".
