Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #4

Doctor Aphra fixes the reader with a knowing half-smile, flight goggles pushed up on her brow and a glowing red-jeweled ring held up between her fingers — whatever "The Deal" entails, she looks entirely too pleased about it. Alyssa Wong's script and Marika Cresta's interior art bring the galaxy's most opportunistic rogue archaeologist through part four of the "Fortune and Fate" arc, while Valentina Remenar's cover portrait captures Aphra's signature blend of charm and barely-concealed scheming in warm, fiery tones courtesy of colorist Rachelle Rosenberg. If you've been following this 2020 series, this issue promises exactly the kind of high-stakes bargaining that makes Aphra such compelling company.
