Star Wars: Age of Republic - Obi-Wan Kenobi #1

Part of Marvel's 2019 Star Wars: Age of Republic anthology series, this issue puts Obi-Wan Kenobi front and center — lightsaber blazing blue and held at the ready as blaster bolts streak past him in a dust-hazed battlefield setting. Paolo Rivera's cover captures the Jedi Knight with focused intensity, Jedi robes flowing, conveying a warrior who is measured rather than reckless. Inside, Jody Houser leads the creative team — joined by artists Cory Smith and Wilton Santos, inker Walden Wong, and colorist Java Tartaglia — for a story simply titled "Mission," promising exactly the kind of purposeful adventure the cover suggests.
