Star Wars: Empire #10

Set during the early days of the Rebellion, Star Wars: Empire #10 from Dark Horse drops readers into the heat of a firefight, with a determined Rebel officer in olive uniform surging forward, blaster drawn and arm outstretched in command, as armed fighters of various species open fire around him amid smoke and chaos. The tagline — "Join the Alliance and Fight the Empire!" — captures the scrappy, all-in spirit of the cover perfectly, rendered with real energy by cover artist Kilian Plunkett. Part one of "The Short, Happy Life of Roons Sewell" promises the kind of ground-level Rebellion story that makes the larger Star Wars saga feel genuinely human.
