Star Wars: Han Solo - Imperial Cadet #5

The concluding chapter of this 2019 Marvel miniseries arrives with a striking cover by David Nakayama — a lone cadet sprinting away across an industrial skyline, credits and currency notes scattering in the wind, while a worn Imperial propaganda poster in the foreground bears the faces of Han and his fellow cadets beneath the Empire's unmistakable cog symbol. It's a quietly tense image that captures the tension between the institution's grand promises and whatever is clearly going sideways. Robbie Thompson and Leonard Kirk bring "Carida Academy Training Course #5" to its conclusion, making this a satisfying final piece of a story about Han Solo's time inside the Empire's war machine.
