Star Wars: Knight Errant #5

The "Aflame" arc reaches its conclusion in this fifth and final chapter, and the cover by Joe Quinones makes the stakes unmistakably clear — a determined young woman charges forward brandishing a green lightsaber and a blaster, flanked by a tall, cape-wearing figure and a stocky armored warrior, while an army of battle-suited troops and a fleet of ships clash in the fiery distance behind them. With the banner "The Final Showdown!" blazing across the bottom, this 2011 Dark Horse issue brings together John Jackson Miller's writing and Michael Atiyeh's vivid colors for what promises to be a tense, action-packed finish. If you've been following Kerra Holt's desperate struggle through Sith space, this is the issue you've been building toward.
