Star Wars: Thrawn #3

The steely blue face of Grand Admiral Thrawn dominates this cover, his red eyes gleaming with cold intelligence as an Imperial Star Destroyer and TIE fighters drift through the space behind him — a visual shorthand for the Imperial war machine he commands. In the foreground, a young woman in Imperial uniform stands in profile, her expression thoughtful, suggesting a story built as much on character and ambition as on military spectacle. Paul Renaud's elegant composition gives the whole thing a quietly cinematic feel that makes this 2018 Marvel series feel every bit as substantial as the beloved novels it draws from.
