Star Wars: Age of Republic - Padmé Amidala #1

Marvel's Star Wars: Age of Republic shines a well-deserved spotlight on Padmé Amidala in this 2019 one-shot, with a cover by Paolo Rivera that captures her composure and resolve in equal measure. She stands in white combat attire, a grappling line gripped in one hand and a blaster held at the ready behind her back, while explosions and starfighters streak across a rocky landscape behind her — diplomat and fighter at once. Writer Jody Houser leads a talented team including artists Cory Smith and Wilton Santos to bring the story "Bridge" to life, making this a compelling entry in Marvel's prequel-era anthology series.
