Summary
Darth Vader failed to turn his son， Luke Skywalker， to the dark side。 Vader sought revenge against those who hid Luke from him for all these years…and in doing so nearly betrayed his master。 It did not go unnoticed by Palpatine…and now it is time for Vader’s next lesson。 Now， left battered and broken by his punishment， the Dark Lord drags himself across the scorched surface of Mustafar with vengeance on his mind！ But as Vader closes in on the key to Palpatine’s greatest secret， the deadly assassin Ochi of Bestoon stands in his way。 Vader and Ochi are in for the fight of their lives， with the fate of the Emperor in the balance — but how much of this deadly scenario is Palpatine’s grand plan？

I enjoy how this is a more holistic take on Vader， making him one with his time as Anakin。 It even serves as a bridge through Rise of Skywalker。 Fun stuff！

Two volumes in already， and Greg Pak’s “Darth Vader” series has somehow – not unimpressively – managed to secure itself as not only one of Marvel’s very best current ongoing series， but also justified itself as “must-read” reading for “Star Wars” fans。 Volume 2 sees Pak tying Vader’s post-Empire-Strikes-Back， pre-Return-of-the-Jedi story directly into the narrative beats of The Rise of Skywalker （no spoilers here）， in ways that feel surprising， but also fully in-keeping with where Vader is at， c Two volumes in already， and Greg Pak’s “Darth Vader” series has somehow – not unimpressively – managed to secure itself as not only one of Marvel’s very best current ongoing series， but also justified itself as “must-read” reading for “Star Wars” fans。 Volume 2 sees Pak tying Vader’s post-Empire-Strikes-Back， pre-Return-of-the-Jedi story directly into the narrative beats of The Rise of Skywalker （no spoilers here）， in ways that feel surprising， but also fully in-keeping with where Vader is at， character-wise， in this stage of his story。 It’s an impressive coup of narrative juggling that Pak is pulling off， a feat that is made all the more impressive when anchored by Raffaele Ienco’s crisp pencil-work， which consistently serves to accentuate the more dramatic points of the slam-bang story。 As a quality comic reading experience， “Darth Vader” might not be the most hyped or promoted “Star Wars” series currently on the shelves…but issue-for-issue， it’s hard to argue that it’s not the best。 。。。more

3。5 stars。 Spends a tad too much time trying to fix TROS's plot holes， and Palpatine playing cat and mouse with Vader gets old when that was basically the entirety of Darth Vader （2015）。 Goddammit just give me more Vader/Anakin angst！ But there were some trippy visuals I really loved， and seeing him beat up everyone is always satisfying。 3。5 stars。 Spends a tad too much time trying to fix TROS's plot holes， and Palpatine playing cat and mouse with Vader gets old when that was basically the entirety of Darth Vader （2015）。 Goddammit just give me more Vader/Anakin angst！ But there were some trippy visuals I really loved， and seeing him beat up everyone is always satisfying。 。。。more

While the premise of Vader building himself up from scratch is intriguing， this basically becomes another Darth Vader-beats-everyone-up story pretty fast。 But it is a fun ride， full of frightening psychedelic visuals and bizarre Dark Side creations。 The ending is a bit weak， though we will see how it plays into future stories。

So many plot holes from TROS tied up （and one from TESB， too！）

Tohle byla nějaká přitroublá fanfikce， ne？ Poměrně zásadně se tu hýbe s kánonem a vůbec ne šetrně。 Což je spolu s příběhem největší problém， protože příběh je shit。 Prakticky v sobě nemá žádný prvek který by byl ať už zábavný či zajímavý， věci se prostě dějou a jsou stupidní。 O to hůř vše působí když si uvědomíme co má vše Vader v komiksech za sebou， sorry ale je to strašně špatný。 Důvod proč to nehodnotit za nejmíň je jednoduchý - má to hezkou kresbou， hezké panelování i barvy， k tomu příběh vl Tohle byla nějaká přitroublá fanfikce， ne？ Poměrně zásadně se tu hýbe s kánonem a vůbec ne šetrně。 Což je spolu s příběhem největší problém， protože příběh je shit。 Prakticky v sobě nemá žádný prvek který by byl ať už zábavný či zajímavý， věci se prostě dějou a jsou stupidní。 O to hůř vše působí když si uvědomíme co má vše Vader v komiksech za sebou， sorry ale je to strašně špatný。 Důvod proč to nehodnotit za nejmíň je jednoduchý - má to hezkou kresbou， hezké panelování i barvy， k tomu příběh vlastně plyne poměrně rychle a netáhne se takže mě štval jen chvíli což je vždy plus。 V první knize jsem se smál jak je snaha cílit na fanoušky prequelů， světě div se， vrátilo se to zas。。。 Asi nejhorší Vader v komiksech。 。。。more

I don't think it meshes well with canon。 Too much baggage to put onto the Vader-Palpatine relationship before ROTJ。 Engaging but very fan fic-y。 I don't think it meshes well with canon。 Too much baggage to put onto the Vader-Palpatine relationship before ROTJ。 Engaging but very fan fic-y。 。。。more

I know this may not be everyone's flavor， but I love the context that Pak is adding to what was discovered in the storytelling of Rise of Skywalker in regard to Exogol。 Pak is still giving us a NEW story that involves the long term plans of Darth Sidious and manages to mount the story to the upcoming events of The Bounty Hunter Wars。 I am really enjoying Greg Pak's Vader run and I look forward to seeing Vader's story through these events。 I know this may not be everyone's flavor， but I love the context that Pak is adding to what was discovered in the storytelling of Rise of Skywalker in regard to Exogol。 Pak is still giving us a NEW story that involves the long term plans of Darth Sidious and manages to mount the story to the upcoming events of The Bounty Hunter Wars。 I am really enjoying Greg Pak's Vader run and I look forward to seeing Vader's story through these events。 。。。more
