Modern Marvel

Star Wars: Captain Phasma #2

Star Wars: Captain Phasma #2 starts with Phasma and TN-3465 closing on the TIE Fighter piloted by Lieutenant Sol Rivas.  Unfortunately, their TIE was undergoing repairs to the weapon's system, so they instead follow Rivas down to a nearby planet Luprora.  They locate Rivas' empty ship and Phasma damages the communication, navigation, and distress beacon.  Phasma, TN-3465, and a BB unit pursue Rivas on foot.  They come across an abandoned dwelling and change into clothes they find.  They then begin travelling to a nearby village, but are attacked by a large sea monster which drags Phasma into the water.  Phasma is able to kill the creature and when she surfaces, they are met by locals from the nearby village.  At the village, Phasma and TN-3465 are introduced to the leader Jair'i.  Jair'i explains their ancestors settled on the planet as fishermen and farmers.  The climate on the planet changed and the sea levels rose bringing the sea monsters.  The population of the settlers dwindled due to the monsters and another group called the R'ora.  Jair'i says Rivas was taken by the R'ora.  The villager Dar'en takes Phasma and TN-3465 to a cliff overlooking an island surrounded by sea monsters where Rivas is located.

The main cover by Paul Renaud has Phasma and TN-3465 standing in front of their TIE Fighter near water where a sea monster has surfaced.
