Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures (Phase III) #9

The planet Eriadu sets the stage for trouble in this 2024 entry in Dark Horse's Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures, as the cover by Harvey Tolibao drops our young heroes into a tense confrontation. A snarling, fur-cloaked alien figure looms at the center, flanked by armed guards on elevated platforms, while two smaller characters face him with their backs to us — tension practically radiating off the page. Writer Daniel José Older and artist Toni Bruno kick off "Tarkin Family Business, Part 1," and this cover makes it abundantly clear that whatever business the Tarkin family conducts, it isn't friendly.
