Star Wars: Darth Vader #36

Part two of "Target Aphra" arrives in this 2023 installment of Marvel's Star Wars: Darth Vader, with a cover by Leinil Francis Yu that sets a tense, desert-world mood. Darth Vader looms in the foreground alongside a goggled woman gripping a long rifle, while a pair of droids approach on a rocky mesa behind them — and an eerie skeletal mask hovers at the edge of the frame, hinting at something stranger still. With Greg Pak writing, Raffaele Ienco on art, and Federico Blee's earthy palette tying it all together, this "Weapons of the Force" chapter looks like a compelling mix of galactic menace and gritty adventure.
