Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions #5

The concluding chapter of Dark Visions arrives with one of the most hypnotic covers of Marvel's 2019 Star Wars line — Greg Smallwood's art renders Darth Vader's helmeted visage as a dark, skull-like apparition, his glowing crimson eyes peering through a kaleidoscopic burst of orange flame and lush tropical color. The symmetrical design gives the whole image an almost psychedelic, fever-dream quality that feels perfectly suited to a series exploring Vader through unconventional perspectives. Dennis Hopeless, Geraldo Borges, and Marcio Menyz bring this five-part anthology to a close with "You Can Run" — and if the cover is any indication, the Dark Lord's presence looms as inescapable as ever.
