Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire - Evolution #1

Returning to the Shadows of the Empire universe, this 1998 Dark Horse miniseries kicks off with cover art by Duncan Fegredo that puts the action front and center: a lone, heavily armed figure leaps through a storm of blaster fire, vibroblade raised and weapons blazing on all sides, while green-skinned aliens close in from below. Shadows of the Empire novelist Steve Perry brings his own expanded-universe voice directly to the page — joined by Ron Randall and Tom Simmons — making this opener feel like a natural extension of the story fans already loved. "Chapter 1: After the Fall" promises exactly the kind of gritty, kinetic Star Wars adventure the title suggests.
