Star Wars: Darth Vader #7

Part two of "Into the Fire" kicks off with a cover that pulls no punches — Daniel Acuña fills the entire frame with an extreme close-up of Darth Vader's scarred, unmasked face, his amber eyes burning with cold fury beneath damaged, battle-worn flesh. It's an unusually raw and unsettling portrait of the Dark Lord stripped of his armor's protection, underscoring the arc's subtitle "The Assassin" with quiet menace. Greg Pak and Raffaele Ienco continue their run on this 2021 Marvel series, with Neeraj Menon's cool blue and fiery orange palette making the image feel both haunting and electric.
