Star Wars: Empire #21

Part two of "A Little Piece of Home" arrives with a cover by David Michael Beck that immediately sets a tense, emotional tone — two women clutch each other amid dense jungle foliage, one steadying the other with a gloved hand while a fearsome horned creature looms in the background, teeth bared. The tagline "Hunted to Extinction!" says everything about the stakes bearing down on them. Ron Marz and Tomás Giorello bring this two-part story to a close in this 2004 Dark Horse entry in the Empire series, and the cover promises both peril and a compelling human connection at its heart.
