Really enjoy showing Vader as more than a loyal puppy, but someone that is planning and bidding his time.
The art is good though it was hard to determine what was going on in a couple of panels.
Highly recommended.

This is a must read for all Star Wars fan! Darth Vader does not disappoints in this canon story about his clashing views of the emperor, the empire, and his fixation with Luke Skywalker.

Gripping action, memorable characters, and a deeper look into the powerful figure of Darth Vader. Minor nitpick with the ending towards the 'canon' movies, but I like this better.

I loved Vader as a kid but the prequels killed him for me I've been in a love hate relationship with the character ever since by now he's back and I can't wait to read the rest of his new story

Great extension of the canonical universe and an interesting take on Darth Vader without spoiling the character. The author gave him additional character and a certain ruthlessness without going full Disney villain.

This starts what I think is the best of the new Marvel Star Wars series. There are five trades that you'll want to obtain to read the full story.
Here are the collections--
DARTH VADER (that's this book that you are reading about)
SHADOWS AND SECRETS
VADER DOWN (this is a cross over story with the main Star Wars series)
THE SHU-TORUN WAR
END OF GAMES (this ends the first Darth Vader series--hope that there is a second!)
What's the tale about? Basically, Palpatine is not too happy with Vader after the Death Star is destroyed. The Emperor feels as if a Dark Lord of the Sith should have been able to prevent its destruction (and he damn near did, if you saw Rogue One). These stories take place just after that first Rebel Victory (the stealing of the plans and the mechanical moon's destruction), and it follows Vader as he tries to regain face in the eyes of his Master.
Now, it should be said that this series runs concurrently with the main Marvel Star Wars series, too. And, the books do intertwine, especially at the beginning. In fact, in some cases, you'll see the same event from two different perspectives: First from the Rebel perspective in the Star Wars book, then from Vader's or the Empire's point of view in the Vader books.
If you are reading both series, here's the reading order that I would suggest....
SKYWALKER STRIKES! (the first SW book)
DARTH VADER (this book)
SHOWDOWN ON THE SMUGGLER'S MOON
VADER DOWN (the crossover between the two series)
REBEL JAIL
THE SHU-TORUN WAR
END OF GAMES
The first Vader series ends in END OF GAMES, but the main Star Wars series continues with...
LAST FLIGHT OF THE HARBINGER (Published in January 2017)
YODA'S SECRET WAR (Published in July 2017)

Though Darth Vader is an icon of evil, in episodes I to III we learn of his tragedy, rise and fall , more than a villain he is an antihero with a chip on his shoulder. This series expand the Vader mith to new levels

I really enjoyed a story with Darth Vader the man, the legend himself. If you want to get some Star Wars story, from a different perspective, then please read, you will enjoy!

I've been hearing about this series for a while and it was all positive. So I finally jumped in and I'm glad I did. Coming on the heals of my seeing Vader in Rogue One, this series does not disappoint
