Star Wars #46

C-3PO strides front and center on David Marquez's cover, one hand raised in his characteristically flustered fashion, flanked on all sides by armed Imperial Stormtroopers — while two imposing, partially glimpsed figures loom in the foreground. The setting, with its curved corridor and crowd of alien onlookers in the background, crackles with tension that suits the third chapter of "Mutiny at Mon Cala" perfectly. Kieron Gillen, Salvador Larroca, and Guru-eFX keep this run firing on all cylinders, and seeing the galaxy's most anxious protocol droid at the heart of an Imperial standoff is a genuinely compelling hook.
