Doctor Aphra #27

The cover by Ashley Witter captures Doctor Aphra in a breathtaking freefall — goggles pushed up on her forehead, blaster holstered at her thigh, and her circuit-tattooed arm reaching out as she tumbles through a dust-choked chasm, with a skeletal droid figure spinning helplessly in the background. It's a striking image that perfectly encapsulates Aphra's brand of controlled chaos — she looks alarmed, but never quite out of options. Simon Spurrier, Emilio Laiso, and Rachelle Rosenberg continue "Worst Among Equals" here, promising another chapter of morally complicated adventure in a galaxy that rarely cuts Aphra any slack.
