Star Wars: Empire #34

The tagline "Sins of the Father… Destiny of the Son!" sets the tone perfectly for this fifth and final chapter of "In the Shadows of Their Fathers." Tomás Giorello's cover art frames a Rebel pilot — clad in an orange flight suit and helmet in hand — standing resolute before a massive explosion, with an X-wing caught in the blast behind him, while a towering Darth Vader looms overhead against the ominous silhouette of the Death Star. With the fate of a planet hanging in the balance, this 2005 Dark Horse conclusion to the arc feels genuinely earned.
