Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #23

Four determined figures loom large against a burst of hyperspace light on W. Scott Forbes's striking cover — a central woman with locs stands confidently at the fore, flanked by three allies whose expressions suggest anything but easy alliances. A sleek starship streaks toward the viewer from below, grounding the whole composition in the galactic stakes of "Machinations." It's a visually compelling chapter in Alyssa Wong, Minkyu Jung, and Rachelle Rosenberg's run on one of Star Wars' most resourceful and unpredictable characters.
