Star Wars: Darth Vader #33

A handmaiden dressed in red-and-black Naboo-style robes commands the entire cover of this 2023 Marvel series entry, holding a blaster in one hand and Darth Vader's helmet in the other — a striking image that sets the tone for the "Corruption of the Handmaiden" arc beginning with "Unbound Force, Part I." Her elaborate horn-shaped headdress and cool, calculating expression make her an immediately arresting presence. Writer Greg Pak and artist Adam Gorham, with colors by Federico Blee, look to be steering the series into compelling new territory with Leinil Francis Yu's bold cover art leading the way.
