Star Wars #63

A beautifully painted cover by Gerald Parel sets a cinematic tone for this 2019 Marvel chapter of "The Scourging of Shu-Torun Part II," with Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Luke Skywalker pushing urgently through a scene of fire and destruction while a striking alien woman with blue hair and elaborate headgear looms large above them in the starlit sky. The warm, painterly colors — all burning oranges and deep shadow — give the whole image a sense of real peril and momentum. With Kieron Gillen writing and Angel Unzueta on interiors, this is a fine-looking entry in Marvel's ongoing Star Wars saga.
