Doctor Aphra #28

Part III of "Worst Among Equals" arrives with a cover by Ashley Witter that feels almost like a movie poster — Doctor Aphra center stage, goggles pushed up and fingers working over a glowing blue device, while the looming face of a weathered older man dominates the background like a threat she hasn't yet looked up to notice. The sinister protocol droid Triple-Zero hovers behind her shoulder, and two armed figures — a human soldier and a hooded reptilian alien — lurk in the foreground, suggesting the doc is very much surrounded by complicated company. Simon Spurrier, Emilio Laiso, and Rachelle Rosenberg's 2019 run continues to put Marvel's most resourceful rogue archaeologist in the middle of exactly the kind of mess she both causes and barely survives.
