Doctor Aphra #13

The tension crackles on Kamome Shirahama's striking cover for Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #13, where Darth Vader looms large on the right, blaster in hand and trading fire with a hulking, smoking combat droid on the left — while Doctor Aphra herself stands caught squarely between them, wide-eyed behind her goggles, looking very much like someone reconsidering her life choices. It's a vivid snapshot of the precarious world Aphra navigates, sandwiched between overwhelming mechanical firepower and one of the galaxy's most dangerous Sith Lords. With Kieron Gillen at the helm and Kev Walker handling interior art, "The Enormous Profit Part V" promises the sharp wit and escalating danger that makes this series such a treat.
