Star Wars: Jedi - The Dark Side #5

The finale of "The Dark Side" arc arrives in this 2011 Dark Horse issue, with Stéphane Roux's cover setting the tension perfectly: Qui-Gon Jinn's green lightsaber clashes against an opponent's blade in the foreground while a mysterious figure watches from the top of a grand staircase, and the tagline "A Son's Choice!" hangs over it all like a storm cloud. It's a charged, elegantly composed image that makes the weight of family loyalty and Jedi resolve feel immediate and very real. Scott Allie and Mahmud Asrar wrap up their story with a cover that promises the kind of confrontation fans of the prequel era will find hard to resist.
