Star Wars: Darth Maul #5

The concluding issue of Marvel's 2017 Darth Maul miniseries arrives with a cover by Rafael Albuquerque that crackles with dark-side menace: a hooded, snarling Darth Maul raises his iconic double-bladed lightsaber against a blue-skinned warrior braced for combat, their weapons clashing in a blaze of red and white light. Albuquerque's moody, shadow-drenched palette perfectly captures the ruthless intensity that defines Maul as a character. A fitting visual send-off to one of 2017's most atmospheric Star Wars stories.
