Star Wars: River of Chaos #2

The second chapter of this four-part Dark Horse adventure puts the pedal to the metal, and June Brigman and Roy Richardson's cover captures it perfectly — a young woman pilots a swooping red speeder while a companion on a jet-bike dodges laser fire, with Imperial stormtroopers in hot pursuit on the ground below and a ringed planet looming in the starfield above. Writer Louise Simonson's galactic thriller is in full swing by issue two, and this cover's kinetic energy makes it easy to see why the miniseries keeps you turning pages.
