Star Wars: The High Republic #3

The cover of this 2023 Marvel series throws you right into the tension, with a white-haired, pointed-eared alien — Tey Sirrek himself — sprinting urgently through a moody, night-drenched environment while a large purple creature looms close behind him, its massive hand clutching a skull-like object. Swirling green energy and shadowy architecture in the background give the scene a genuinely unsettling atmosphere that artist Ario Anindito renders with striking color contrasts. Chapter III of The High Republic: Balance of the Force looks to put Tey Sirrek front and center in a story that promises both danger and intrigue from the very first page.
