Star Wars: Target Vader #1

Someone has the audacity to hunt Darth Vader — and this 2019 opener from writer Robbie Thompson makes that premise immediately thrilling. Nic Klein's cover art dominates with a scarred, cybernetic bounty hunter striding forward, heavy rifle in hand, while Vader's massive helmet looms ominously in the background and a small crew of armed hunters waits in the lower corner, planets hanging in the star-filled sky behind them all. It's a bold, atmospheric setup for "On the Hunt" that asks a genuinely exciting question: what kind of person takes that contract?
