Collects Darth Vader Annual #1, Darth Vader #16-19.

The Dark Lord of the Sith's unstoppable march continues! The natives of Shu-Torun are revolting, and there's no way the Empire will stand for that. When Darth Vader is tasked with leading a military assault against the planet, could it be that his rise to glory has begun? But who will follow Vader into war? Would you? Then again, it's better to fight alongside Vader than against him. That's a lesson that the ore barons are about to learn.

Good Continuation

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was a good continuation to the Darth Vader story, although it was a bit confusing because I read the Vader Down collection and then came to this one, but it seems the actual chronology is the Annual at the beginning of this collection, then Vader Down, then the rest of Volume 3. I do see why the Annual was included in this Volume rather than the end of Volume 2, because it does deal with the Shu-Torun world which is where the whole volume takes place. It did feel like this collection was mostly it's own self-contained series that was a bit different in tone to the rest of the series up to this point. It was also a bit disappointing that Aphra was not in this collection, so I am looking forward to having her back in Volume 4. It is still a great continuation to the wonderful Darth Vader comic series.

Fairly solid read

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have to say that I really had a tough time wrapping my head around both the writing and art style of the Darth Vader graphic novels. Kieron Gillen isn't very clear in his approach and I find myself having to re-read several portions to understand what's going on. Same goes for Salvador Larocca's artwork. It's just so mysterious at times and I find myself needing re-cover material that should have a simple flow to it. All that being said, Gillen is a visionary and has come up with some brilliant concepts that are enjoyable to experience. Telling the story from the perspective of the Empire, and slowly seeing Darth Vader's character develop from what we see between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back is quite enjoyable. All-in-all a solid-enough story to get 4-star review from me.

Vader proving those odds are working toward his menacing ideals…

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is probably my favorite arc showcasing Vader as a true complex villain on what he is beneath that cold breathing mask. I like how it flows with many tasks thrown at him while he finds ways to use his wits and skills with the dark side on his side. Definitely worth the read!

I miss Doctor Aphra

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

I miss Doctor Aphra. The droids are fun. This volume finds Darth Vader dealing with a war and royal families on a supply planet. I am so over the other potential apprentices of the Emperor. They're annoying.

Queen Trios is a really interesting character. I like the culture of glamour and dukes on this planet. An intensely courtly culture.

I give this volume a 3/5. It continues the Darth Vader story, but nothing special happens in this volume. Hopefully the next volume picks up the pace.

Vader Managing Rebellion at His Best

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This chapter of the Saga concerns a war on a mining world. Treachery and deceit abound. Vader makes his way through a minefield. While an interesting side story, for me this issue wasn't as good as the last two. Artwork was good, but not as good as the previous editions. A great example of how Vader operates on his own. Can't wait to learn the Emperor's explanation.

Love the Series, Not the Arc

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

This arc was just okay for me. I am not personally a huge fan of Cylo and his team of would be Vader replacements. I feel they are throw away characters and weak storytelling. I wouldn't want to see Cylo and his team on the big screen. But that being said I like seeing a new world and as always the Vader action is really good. Rouge One and these comics have really started to give us an understanding of why Vader should be feared.

Another Great Volume In The Series,

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

Highly recommended series for fans of the man in black himself; Darth Vader. This series is fantastic and really captures the character in such an epic light. This volume focuses on a war on a planet recently brought into the Imperial fold, introducing new characters and a great setting. Definitely consider starting this series.

Best in the series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2018

Best in the four part series I have read so far, without a doubt. I really liked how most the story was set in a single world with a fleshed put mining society which was a refreshing change from the usual planet hoping.
