Star Wars: Legacy #16

Four determined figures stand ready against a smoldering cityscape skyline in this 2014 Dark Horse entry — a young woman raises her blaster, a tall droid readies a rifle, a Mon Calamari crouches close, and a man ignites a yellow lightsaber at their flank. The tagline "Escape from the Empire!" sets the stakes, and Agustin Alessio's moody, atmospheric cover art gives the whole scene a cinematic urgency that pulls you right in. With Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman steering the story and Brian Albert Thies on interior art, Star Wars: Legacy continues to deliver some of the galaxy far, far away's most compelling corner.
