Star Wars: The High Republic #12

A hulking, armored alien figure dominates Phil Noto's cover for this twelfth issue — green-skinned and imposing, wearing a breathing apparatus and spiked battle armor while clutching what appears to be a lightsaber hilt, with twin green and white energy blades blazing across the frame against a deep red-lit backdrop. The mood is tense and deliberately unsettling, perfectly suited to a chapter titled "The Spirit of Disunity." Writer Cavan Scott and artist Georges Jeanty continue their High Republic saga here, and this 2022 Marvel issue promises the kind of atmospheric Star Wars storytelling that makes this era of the galaxy feel genuinely fresh.
