Star Wars: Dark Times - Fire Carrier #4

Part four of five in the "Fire Carrier" arc finds a group of children and a pale, slight figure scrambling through a dense jungle as a pack of snarling Wookiees bearing spears and staffs bears down on them — and a blue lightsaber blazes in the chaos at center cover. Douglas Wheatley's cover art crackles with raw tension, balancing the sheer physical menace of the towering Wookiees against the vulnerability of the small figures trying to escape. With Randy Stradley writing and Gabriel Guzman on interior art, this 2013 Dark Horse series continues to mine the shadowed corners of the post-Order 66 galaxy.
