STAR WARS: AGE of RESISTANCE - VILLAINS (graphic novel) by Tom Taylor
Written by Tom Taylor.
Art by Leonard Kirk, Cory Hamscher, and Guru eFX.
Published in 2019.
Issued during the build up to to the theater release Star Wars: Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Villains offers four separate stories about four different villains featured in the sequel trilogy.
The four villains are Captain Phasma, General Hux, Snoke, and Kylo Ren. Each story tells is set before Episode VIII and demonstrates the true nature of each of them. Since these are all villains, there are lots of instances of betrayal and backstabbing.
The art work was great, but the stories do not do anything to really illuminate the characters. Three of them involve fighting on some planet of the edges of the Empire when things go bad and the villains commit villainy to survive to be villainous on another day.

Following each story there is an essay about the character. It includes comments from the actors that play these characters in the movies.
