Star Wars: Bounty Hunters #17

Part of Marvel's 2021 "War of the Bounty Hunters" crossover, this issue drops readers right into the tension with a cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli showing a determined fighter in blue launching explosive strikes against a squad of Imperial Stormtroopers aboard what the cover boldly declares is the Executor. The energy crackling from each punch and kick gives the scene a real sense of desperate momentum, with a full column of armored troopers pressing in from behind. With Ethan Sacks writing and Paolo Villanelli on art, "Last Stand" promises exactly the kind of against-the-odds action that makes this series such a rewarding corner of the Star Wars universe.
