Star Wars: Legacy #9

A sinking spacecraft bathed in eerie light sets the stage for this fourth chapter of "Outcasts of the Broken Ring," with Ania Solo silhouetted in the vessel's open hatch as dark, clawed creatures close in from the surrounding depths. The cover copy makes the stakes bracingly clear — one drop of this poisoned sea is lethal — and Agustin Alessio's atmospheric cover renders that threat in vivid, unsettling detail. Bechko, Hardman, and Thies deliver what promises to be one of 2013's tensest installments in this ongoing Dark Horse saga.
