Doctor Aphra #30

Doctor Aphra and the menacing Triple-Zero stand back-to-back on Ashley Witter's striking cover — the rogue archaeologist looking wary beneath her cap while the red-eyed assassin droid looms behind her, saw-arm and blaster raised, their long shadows stretching ominously across the warm desert tones behind them. It's a pairing that radiates uneasy alliance, perfectly capturing the kind of morally complicated partnerships this series does so well. Simon Spurrier, Emilio Laiso, and Rachelle Rosenberg bring "Worst Among Equals" to its fifth chapter in this 2019 Marvel installment.
