Chewbacca #5

Phil Noto's cover for this 2016 Marvel series finale captures Chewbacca at his most ferocious — swinging on a cable through what appears to be an Imperial hangar, bowcaster in hand, with a young girl clinging to his back as Stormtroopers open fire from below and behind. The dynamic angle and streaking blaster bolts give the scene a thrilling sense of momentum, with a TIE Fighter visible in the background to remind you exactly what's at stake. Gerry Duggan and Noto's five-issue run wraps up with a cover that distills everything appealing about a solo Wookiee adventure: loyalty, chaos, and one very determined co-pilot.
