Star Wars: Knight Errant #1

The cover of this Dark Horse opener sets the stakes immediately: one determined young Jedi — blaster in one hand, lightsaber hilt in the other — strides forward beneath a sky crowded with Sith warships, with the tagline "Thousands of Sith. One Jedi." making the odds bracingly clear. It's a strong visual premise for "Aflame, Part 1 of 5," rendered with confident energy by cover artists Joe Quinones, with colors by Michael Atiyeh lending the alien desert sky a vivid purple glow. John Jackson Miller and Federico Dallocchio promise a Star Wars story pitched into the deep end of a galaxy already lost to darkness — a genuinely compelling setup for this new era.
