Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows #4

Darth Vader dominates this striking cover by Felipe Massafera, his helmet rendered in dramatic close-up as a gauntleted fist reaches out with unmistakable menace — the tagline "The Dark Lord Takes a Hands-On Approach" says it all. This fourth chapter of Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows is brought to life by writer Tim Siedell and artist Gabriel Guzman, with colors by Michael Atiyeh lending the whole thing a rich, shadow-drenched atmosphere. If the series has been building toward something intense, this 2014 Dark Horse issue looks ready to deliver on that promise.
