Star Wars: The High Republic #2

The cover of this second issue in Marvel's 2021 Star Wars: The High Republic series pulls you straight into close-quarters conflict — a green-skinned, reptilian Jedi in Jedi robes charges forward with a blue lightsaber blazing, locked in fierce confrontation with a hulking, horned armored figure. Phil Noto's cover work captures a wonderful sense of momentum and danger, the tight corridor framing amplifying the intensity between these two combatants. With Cavan Scott's story "There Is No Fear Chapter II: Tomb in Space" waiting inside, this issue promises to keep the High Republic era's adventurous spirit burning bright.
