Star Wars: Dark Times - Fire Carrier #3

The third chapter of "Fire Carrier" arrives with a cover by Douglas Wheatley that crackles with urgency — a rugged, heavily loaded ground vehicle tears across a rocky, skull-strewn landscape while red laser blasts streak past it. Clinging to the vehicle is a desperate, motley crew of humans and aliens, including a hulking green-skinned figure and several other species, all seemingly in full flight from an unseen threat. With writer Randy Stradley and artist Gabriel Guzman guiding this five-part arc through the shadows of the Empire's rise, this 2013 Dark Horse entry delivers exactly the kind of grim, adrenaline-charged storytelling that made the Dark Times series such a compelling corner of the Star Wars galaxy.
