Penciller/Colorist: Davidé Fabbri
Inker: Christian Dalla Vecchia
Colorist: David Michael Beck
Dissent in the ranks! Janek Sunber finds himself at odds—and at gunpoint—with his fellow officers over the treatment of Imperial prisoners. Hardly an auspicious start to his new assignment, and made all the worse because the internal conflict blinds the Imperials to the presence of Rebel infiltrators in their midst!
But the biggest shock to Sunber—and the Rebels—is yet to come, from a most unexpected quarter! Allegiances are strained, identities are revealed, and a major strike against the Empire is in the offing. An issue that should not be missed!
• The return of Lieutenant Janek Sunber (the lead character in “To the Last Man,” Empire #16-18).

Many on both sides of the Clone Wars have been wounded or killed. But the war has taken its toll on the survivors, too.
Consumed by the belief that the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress still lives, Obi-Wan Kenobi has temporarily forsaken his duties and recruited Anakin Skywalker in his desperate hunt for Ventress.
But Anakin believes that Obi-Wan is chasing a ghost—because he himself killed Ventress. And Anakin’s doubts about his former Master’s quest are not assuaged when, following the trail of the rumors of Ventress’ existence, they walk into a trap set by their old enemies, the bounty hunter Durge and Count Dooku!
A tale that tests the strengths of the bonds of brotherhood!
