Star Wars: Han Solo - Imperial Cadet #4

Han Solo in an Imperial cadet's uniform dives through an explosion of debris and light, blaster raised, as TIE fighters streak through the smoke-filled sky behind him — it's a cover that captures a young Solo caught between two worlds, neither fully Imperial nor yet the galaxy's most famous smuggler. Writer Robbie Thompson and artist Leonard Kirk bring this formative chapter of Han's life to life, while David Nakayama's cover art uses bursting warm light and flying wreckage to convey the barely-controlled chaos that seems to follow Solo everywhere. Issue #4 of this five-part Marvel series keeps the tension wound tight as Han's time at Carida Academy hurtles toward its conclusion.
