Star Wars: Dark Times #8

Two reptilian alien figures dominate this unsettling cover — one blue-skinned and wide-eyed, the other cloaked and bound by a heavy gold chain — their confrontation framed by harsh streaks of light that underscore the issue's blunt one-word declaration: "Captured!" It's a striking composition by Zach Howard that sets a tense, shadowy mood perfectly suited to the "Parallels" arc unfolding across this five-part story. With writing by Mick Harrison and interior art by Dave Ross, Star Wars: Dark Times continues to explore the grim corners of a galaxy under Imperial rule.
