Star Wars: Darth Vader #18

Darth Vader stands immovable at the center of Aaron Kuder's striking cover, flanked by a formation of TIE fighters whose engine glow traces bold amber lines across a deep crimson background — Imperial might rendered as near-abstract design. The composition gives Vader the presence of a dark monument, cape spread wide and chest panel gleaming, with the squadron arrayed around him like a crown of ships. Greg Pak, Leonard Kirk, and Alex Sinclair bring "Red Revenge" to life inside, and this 2022 Marvel issue promises the kind of brooding, large-scale tension that makes this series so compelling.
