Star Wars: TIE Fighter #4

The penultimate chapter of "The Shadow Falls" arrives in striking fashion, with Tommy Lee Edwards's cover depicting a chaotic ground-level scene where a lone Imperial pilot scrambles amid wreckage and flames while Rebel B-wings and a transport bear down from above. It's a perspective that puts readers squarely in the boots of the Empire's fighters rather than its opponents — a refreshing inversion of the usual Star Wars vantage point. Jody Houser and artists Rogê Antônio and Ig Guara continue their exploration of the galaxy's other side, and with one issue left in the arc, the tension is unmistakably high.
