Leia returns to the Alliance fleet with a plan to bring Shu-Torun and Queen Trios to their knees. But if the Rebels need to fight through hell itself, they’ll need warriors who have already fought through an apocalypse.
Kieron Gillen finishes his Star Wars run with a bang in this arc. The art by both Andrea Broccardo and Angel Unzueta is great and has the expressiveness a story like this needs.
