Star Wars: Darth Vader #35

Doctor Aphra — "the galaxy's most notorious relic hunter" — sits at a high-stakes table surrounded by a crowd of alien onlookers, holding her cards with cool composure while Darth Vader looms behind her, crimson lightsaber blazing in an ominous X across the cover. It's a tension-soaked setup that perfectly captures the dangerous cat-and-mouse dynamic the title "Target Aphra" promises. Leinil Francis Yu's cover work is sharp and cinematic, making this 2023 Marvel issue a genuinely compelling addition to Greg Pak's run on the series.
