Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi #5

The penultimate issue of this 2024 Marvel miniseries delivers a striking cover by Phil Noto: Darth Vader's imposing helmeted visage looms large over the entire composition, while below him two figures — each wielding blue lightsabers — face each other across what appears to be a glowing surface, evoking the weight of a fateful confrontation. The visual storytelling here is beautifully layered, with Vader's presence casting a shadow — literally and symbolically — over the duel beneath him. Jody Houser and Salvador Larroca's series continues to feel like essential reading for fans of the Jedi Master's story.
