Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #2

The cover of this 2021 IDW series puts the spotlight squarely on Lula Talisola — the cover even announces her by name — rendered with striking intensity by Harvey Tolibao as she stands armed with an ignited blue lightsaber, her natural hair flowing dynamically behind her against a cool blue backdrop of machinery and spacecraft. With writer Daniel José Older and colorist Rebecca Nalty rounding out the creative team, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures brings a fresh, energetic corner of the galaxy to life. "Bralanak City Smackdown" promises exactly the kind of action the title suggests, and this issue looks like a great reason to follow wherever Lula leads.
