This book is just incredible. I love that it had its story to tell and it ends once it's completed and doesn't drag on just to sell books. It perfectly bridges the gap between the Vader of New Hope that's powerful but falls in line to Tarkin to the Vader of Empire who is the unquestioned master of everyone but the Emperor. It introduces incredible new characters, particularly Doctor Aphra who would go on to have her own series but works so well here. She's used to give the reader a focal point so that Vader can still be powerful and mysterious. It has some incredible action set pieces, and the art by Salvador Larocca is masterful. I had the trades but I love this series so much that I had to add the hardcover omnibus to my collection. If you haven't read it yet, this is a must buy
