Star Wars: Agent of the Empire - Iron Eclipse #2

Part two of five in this 2012 Dark Horse espionage series puts Imperial agent Jahan Cross front and center, weapons drawn alongside a pink-haired woman similarly armed — two cool operators ready for whatever's waiting at the party. Looming behind them is a cast of intriguing faces: a shadowy human figure at the top, two imposing alien beings to the left, and a distinguished older man flanked by a younger companion at the right, hinting at a gathering full of competing agendas. Stéphane Roux's cover art gives the whole thing a sleek, thriller-poster energy that makes Star Wars: Agent of the Empire — Iron Eclipse feel like the galaxy's most dangerous social engagement.
