Fandom Friday: Why doesn't Finn have a Star Wars novel or comic book series?

There are a lot of upcoming Star Wars books that will be released soon but so far I haven't seen any that will focus or center on Finn. Why doesn't he have a novel or comic book series yet? I do hope that will change soon.

I thought Finn was so underutilized in the sequel trilogy, he's such an interesting character because he went from being a Stormtrooper to pursuing a more heroic destiny. His backstory is so interesting and I want to know more about his past where he was kidnapped and trained to be a soldier for the First Order. What was his life like during that time in his life? What sort of training did he receive? Was The Force Awakens the first time he fought his programming or was he often subjected to reprogramming? How did being one of the few to face Kylo Ren and survive affect him after he woke up from being in a coma? I don't think that was ever properly dealt with in The Last Jedi.

I would also love if there was a post-The Rise of Skywalker novel that explored his new found Force Sensitivity and how he will deal with it. Will he train with Rey to develop his connection with the Force to become a Jedi or not? It would also be interesting to see how his new abilities are incorporated as he tries to help rebuild the Republic as one of the new Generals. Also will he finally tell Poe Dameron about being Force Sensitive or continue to hold on to his secret. It would also be cool if there was a book that finally made a relationship between Finn and Poe official, it would be a great way to end a Finn trilogy book series.
