THE CATASTROPHE CON TPB
Written by SI SPURRIER
Penciled by KEV WALKER
Cover by ASHLEY WITTER

Doctor Aphra is behind bars. Again. But this time she's in Imperial custody, strapped to an explosive transmitter synced to a single hubdroid. Take one step too far? Kablooey! So what happens when Aphra's captors send her hubdroid right into the middle of a war zone? And what's this rumor about the prison being haunted? Meanwhile, Aphra's got information — and it's information the Rebellion wants. But how far are they willing to go — and who are they willing to recruit — to get it? Surely even our lovable rogue archaeologist can't find a way to make things even worse, right? Wrong. Because Aphra's current flame, Inspector Tolvan, and Aphra's ex, Sana Starros, are about to meet. Awkward. But that's nothing compared to a certain tall, dark shadow about to fall across her. Collecting STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA #20-25.
