I'm not a big fan of the new star wars. The whole new initiative of covering every minutia of detail between the movies is not something that interested me, and after checking out of a few of the books these new stories in the Star Wars universe didn't do it for me. That was, however, until I came upon this. Darth Vader is my first foray into the new Star Wars comics and it's great. Gillen totally has Vader's voice and the new supporting characters surrounding ol' Darth are fantastic. Tripple Zero and BeeTee are keepers y'all. While the story was a light read, similar to the books, Gillen embeds the core of the story with unexpected character development that'll enrich the gap between movies. Definitely a rec, will read again, and can't wait to dive into more of the comic-verse.
It introduces some of my new favorite charters, and delivers those ‘cool’ Vader moments while giving much appreciated dark comedy from duppprting characters.
Please do yourself a favor and read this series

Unfortunately this hardback Omnibus is out of most normal folks price range at the moment. So either go the trade paperback route or keep an eye out for secondhand sellers.



But for whatever reason that i did? I am damn glad i did. This book was a great ride. From start to finish. Its shows vader as the true badass that he really is. If you think that final scene at the end of rogue one was cool? Ha! You aint seen nothing yet. Although this is also the one flaw. You never worried about vader as a character. He isnt going to die. The movies say so. But even if they didnt, vader is so imposing, you know nothing can seriously threaten him. Like damn.... one scene has him surrounded by A LITERAL REBEL ARMY. And all vader says? " i am surrounded by dead men". So ya. There isnt really any suspense when it comes to whether vader will live or not.
But this is countered very well by the supporting. Mainly doctor alphra. She basically gets recruited by vader to be his sidekick. And she is a great character. Picture indiana jones combined with han solo, but without there morals. And you get a pretty good idea of her character. And she is very good at what she does. But working for vader is always a very dangerous thing to do. She is very aware that vader can kill her at any time. And yes. The threat is very real, she def can die. But she is a vreat character. So you cant help but root for her to survive this series.
Then there is triple 0 and BEE TEE. Vaders and alphras droids. Basically the evil twins of C3P0 and R2D2. These two will kill everything they can get away with. And boy. They get away with alot.
This is something that kinda surprises me. This is book about some seriously evil and twisted people. And none of these people are "good" people. And they dont even try to be. But you can not but help like these guys. The writings that good. And these characters are very well developed. This story is officially star wars canon. And its handled faithfully and respectfully. And it shows.
So if you are asking "should i get this book?"
My answer is "why havent you started it yet?"
You dont need to be a huge fan of star wars to like this book. But i do think you would have needed to, at the bare minimum, have watched episode IV. Just so you have some idea whats going on. Its basically episode IV.5.
Oh. And one one final thing. The art is awesome. No complaints there. At all
