Star Wars: Republic #62

On Hostile Ground" declares the title of this 2004 Clone Wars entry from Dark Horse, and the cover by Brian Ching makes the threat feel immediate — a red-skinned, horned warrior clutches a blade at the forefront while a white-haired fighter raises a lit lightsaber beside him, with a blue-skinned figure, an armed pink-haired woman, and a crowd of battle-ready aliens pressing forward behind them. It's a genuinely striking ensemble that radiates tension and suggests a desperate stand on dangerous terrain. With John Ostrander writing and Tomás Giorello on interiors, Star Wars: Republic #62 promises the kind of gritty, character-driven storytelling this creative team consistently delivers.
