Star Wars: Empire #26

With TIE fighters screaming overhead and an X-wing crash-landed behind him, Luke Skywalker stands his ground blaster drawn — the cover tagline says it all: "Jedi… Pilot… TARGET!" Tommy Lee Edwards' painted cover work crackles with urgency, bathing the scene in fiery oranges and greens as Imperial fighters close in on the grounded Rebel squadron. Writer Ron Marz and artists Adriana Melo and Nicola Scott kick off this two-part story with real stakes right from the first page.
