“Extinction”

"Extinction" kicks off Star Wars Tales #1 with a pulse-pounding encounter between Big Gizz and Spiker in the scorched ruins of Tatooine’s Podracing arena. When they stumble upon a malfunctioning dark trooper whose weapons remain fully active, the two must fight for survival in a place where the past is as deadly as the present. Written and drawn by Kilian Plunkett, with colors by Dave Nestelle and letters by Vickie Williams, the issue’s cover by Tsuneo Sanda captures the tension in stark, shadowed detail.
