Star Wars: Rebellion #9

Part four of "The Ahakista Gambit" arrives with a cover by Ryan Sook that puts the tension front and center: an Imperial officer raises what appears to be a weapon behind a young woman in Imperial uniform, while the cover copy asks the pointed question — "Sabotage? But who would betray the Empire?" The dynamic composition hints at treachery within Imperial ranks, setting an atmosphere of paranoia and intrigue that suits the series well. With Williams and Lacombe steering the story alongside a sharp creative team, this 2007 Dark Horse chapter looks like a satisfying escalation for anyone following the arc.
