Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #38

Part of the 2024 Dark Droids crossover, this issue carries a genuinely unsettling promise right on the cover: "First, It Comes for the Metal… Then, It Comes for Everything Else." Romy Jones's cover art puts a glowing-eyed, silver-haired figure — Aphra herself, looking disturbingly vacant — striding forward gun in hand, while her companions react with visible unease around her against a scorched, rust-red landscape with a crashed ship looming in the background. Alyssa Wong and Minkyu Jung's "Truth to Liars" looks like a tense chapter where the threat at the heart of Dark Droids hits uncomfortably close to home.
