Star Wars #31

Part 2 of the five-part "Screaming Citadel" crossover event, this 2017 Marvel issue brings Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and a mysterious goggled woman together against a deep crimson backdrop that practically pulses with tension. Han raises his blaster with characteristic cool while Luke's blue lightsaber blazes at the ready, the trio framed by what appear to be ornate, unsettling biological canisters. Marco Checchetto's cover work gives the whole thing a richly atmospheric, slightly gothic energy that sets the tone perfectly for whatever dangers await inside the citadel's walls.
