Star Wars: Agent of the Empire - Hard Targets #2

The shadow of Darth Vader looms large over this 2012 Dark Horse entry in the Agent of the Empire series, setting an ominous Imperial tone as the cover tagline announces "The Cleansing of Serenno!" Stéphane Roux's cover artwork assembles a striking ensemble of characters — a pink-haired woman armed with a blaster crossbow, a bald man leveling a pistol, a dark-haired figure brandishing clashing green lightsabers, and a Zabrak wielding his own green blade — all charged with tension against a deep crimson backdrop. John Ostrander and Davidé Fabbri continue their five-part espionage thriller here, and with a cast this dangerous-looking, part two promises to keep the intrigue running at full tilt.
