Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #2

The cover of this 2020 Marvel series pulls you right into the heart of a lightsaber-lit melee, with a young Ben Solo charging forward, blue blade ignited, alongside a bearded older Jedi wielding his own saber against a group of dark, armored warriors. Looming in the background, a menacing masked figure in black commands the scene with a green blade raised — the Knights of Ren making their presence unmistakably felt. Writer Charles Soule, artist Will Sliney, and colorist Guru-eFX are delivering the kind of Star Wars storytelling that fans of the saga's darker corners will find hard to put down.
