Star Wars: Darth Vader #22

Darth Vader dominates this Paul Renaud cover with cape billowing against a sky lit by fire and ruin, red lightsaber drawn and TIE fighters swarming the smoke-filled air around him — it's a striking image that sets the stage perfectly for "Crimson Havoc," part of the sweeping Crimson Reign crossover. Greg Pak scripts the action with art by Raffaele Ienco and colors by Alex Sinclair, a creative team that has consistently delivered the Dark Lord at his most formidable. If you've been following the power struggles of this era, issue #22 looks like exactly the kind of escalation the story has been building toward.
