Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens - Shattered Empire #2

Part two of Greg Rucka's bridge story connecting the original trilogy to The Force Awakens arrives with a striking cover by Marco Checchetto: a battle-worn Rebel soldier stands confidently on rugged terrain, blaster rifle in hand and a flowing cape at her side, with a crashed starfighter smoldering in the rocky landscape behind her. The warm, hazy atmosphere and her determined expression suggest a galaxy still very much in turmoil even after the Empire's fall. It's a compelling portrait of the Rebellion's aftermath — grounded, human, and ready for what comes next.
