Star Wars: Legacy #4

The cover of this 2013 Dark Horse entry in the Star Wars: Legacy series promises exactly what it advertises — a tense, high-stakes confrontation declared in bold pink lettering: "Showdown with a Sith!" Dave Wilkins delivers a striking tableau featuring a dark-haired woman in white leveling a blaster, a menacing Sith figure in red and black advancing with a lightsaber, a cloaked combatant in the background, and a watchful Mon Calamari face looming in the foreground — all set against a dramatic starfield. Writers Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman, with Hardman also handling the interior art and Rachelle Rosenberg on colors, make this fourth issue feel like a pivotal moment in their corner of the far, far away galaxy.
