Star Wars Hidden Empire #[0]

Panini France kicks off their Star Wars: Hidden Empire series with this striking prologue edition, its cover dominated by a fractured, painterly portrait of Darth Vader's helmet split between shadow and crimson — a haunting image that sets a suitably dark tone. The bold, cracked rendering of that iconic mask suggests themes of empire, fracture, and dread woven throughout the story to come. A compelling entry point for French-language Star Wars comics readers in 2023.
