Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side #2

The cover by Stéphane Roux puts the tension front and center: a lightsaber-wielding Jedi woman stands her ground, deflecting blaster fire from armed figures closing in on either side, with crackling energy bolts adding urgency to the already-charged scene. The cover banner promises a "Showdown on Telos IV," and that framing delivers — this is a Jedi caught in a deadly crossfire, all cool blues and hot pinks giving the composition a striking visual energy. Scott Allie and Mahmud Asrar's 2011 Dark Horse series continues to look like a great showcase for high-stakes Jedi drama in the Old Republic era.
