Star Wars Doctor Aphra Annual #1

Doctor Aphra takes center stage in this 2017 Marvel annual, her blaster drawn and expression cool as she crouches before a massive, roaring Wookiee — a striking pairing that hints at the rogue's gallery of allies and adversaries populating her corner of the Star Wars galaxy. David Nakayama's cover art is a real treat, rendering Aphra in her signature aviator helmet and red vest with crisp, stylized energy against the hulking creature's expressive fury. With Kieron Gillen writing and both Marc Laming and Will Sliney on art duties, this oversized annual looks like a well-stocked adventure for fans of the galaxy's most unpredictable archaeologist.
