Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #3

A younger Ben Solo, blue lightsaber drawn and robes still that of a Jedi, crouches against a backdrop of fire and smoke — while the masked, armored figure of Kylo Ren looms behind him, red crossguard lightsaber ignited. The juxtaposition of past and present selves on this cover, rendered by the creative team of Soule, Sliney, and Guru-eFX, captures the tension at the heart of this 2020 Marvel series beautifully. If you've ever wanted to explore the dark passage between who Ben Solo was and who he became, this issue's cover alone makes a compelling case.
