But this music may also turn out to be the soundtrack of a revolution unfolding across the world. Despite governmental attempts to censor them, these musicians and fans keep playing and listening. Partly for the joy of self-expression, but also because here, everything is political.

STAR WARS: DEATHTROOPERS
The Imperial Prison Barge Virtue is hauling its load of prisoners, criminals and murderers, human and non-human, across the galaxy, when it breaks down in deep space. Soon after, the ship’s warden discovers a derelict Star Destroyer, seemingly abandoned, and sends a boarding party to scavenge parts to repair the Virtue. Half of them don’t come back. The ones that do are infected with a virus so deadly that within hours, it has wiped out ninety-nine percent of the barge's population. But for the handful of survivors – two brothers, the Virtue’s female chief medical officer, and a sadistic captain of the guards, along with a certain rogue smuggler and his Wookiee sidekick – the true horror has just begun… Note: This item may be available in high street stores prior to comic shops.
