Star Wars: Darth Vader #17

A striking close-up of Darth Vader's helmet fills this cover, bathed in deep crimson light from a blazing red lightsaber — Aaron Kuder's artwork giving the Dark Lord an almost molten, brooding presence. Part of Marvel's "War of the Bounty Hunters" crossover event, this issue — titled "Just Rewards" — promises Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco at the height of their run, with Alex Sinclair's rich color work amplifying every shadow and gleam on Vader's armor. If you've been following this series, issue #17 looks like exactly the kind of tense, darkly atmospheric chapter the title has been building toward.
