Star Wars: Darth Vader #45

Darth Vader looms at the center of Leinil Francis Yu's cover for issue #45, crimson lightsaber blazing as he pins down an opponent struggling beneath him amid a scatter of broken rubble — raw power made visceral in every line. The story, "The Martyrium of Frozen Tears," promises the kind of dramatic, high-stakes confrontation that Greg Pak and his artistic team of Adam Gorham, Paul Fry, and Federico Blee have been delivering throughout this run. If you've been following this 2024 series, this cover alone makes a compelling case for picking up the issue.
