Star Wars: Darth Vader #14

Part of Marvel's 2021 War of the Bounty Hunters crossover, this issue promises a story subtitled "The Blade Behind the Curtain" — and the cover by Aaron Kuder delivers that tension beautifully. A pale, black-clad figure stands center stage, cool and composed, while Darth Vader looms in the background flanked by the red glow of lightsabers and his own enormous shadow stretching across the corridor behind her. Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco's series continues to find fascinating angles on the Dark Lord's world, and this installment looks to put a quietly dangerous new player right in Vader's orbit.
