VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Kieron Gillen (A) Salvador Larroca (CA) Adi Granov
The original Dark Lord of the Sith stars in his first ongoing series! Ever since Darth Vader made his first on-screen appearance, he became the one of the most popular villains to ever haunt an audience's dreams! Now, follow Vader straight from the ending of A NEW HOPE (and the pages of the new STAR WARS comic book) into his own series, showing the Empire's war with the Rebel Alliance from the other side! Writer Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Journey Into Mystery, Iron Man) and artist Salvador Larroca (Invincible Iron Man, X-Men: No More Humans) bring us a peek behind the mask of evil!

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


Marvel has hit the ground running with both of their Star Wars series, but Darth Vader is turning out to be the better book. After what amounts to a demotion (which has to suck if you're a sith lord), Vader is now under the hand of the only other Imperial survivor from the Death Star, Grand General Tagge (you might remember him from his complaints about security and his awesome mutton chops). He's sending Vader after smugglers and thieves. How would you feel if you were Vice-President in charge of Planetary Destruction the day before and now you essentially have a space broom handed to you are are told to clean up minor messes? You'd be angry, you'd be secretive, and you'd want to secure your place before things get any worse. If you're wondering if Vader kills someone in an interesting way to make sure his tracks are covered, the answer is sort of, but its pretty successful in re-establishing the chain of command. Salvador Larocca's art suffers a bit of the same drop off that John Cassaday's did with Star Wars #2, but not so much its a turn off. Gillen's got a firm grip on this material. More please.

I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
