Fun Read

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020

This one again has Darth Vader at odds with his superiors as he has his own agenda. Dr. Aphra is back and is helping him accomplish those goals even if they aren't always on the same page. This book is as good as the first one and does a good job moving the storytelling forward. I like the characters and how they fall in line with the Star Wars universe. I'll keep this short but I like how this book is progressing and look forward to seeing what Vol 3 brings.

Great Continuation to the Series

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great continuation of the Darth Vader comic series. It's great to have the new characters of Aphra, BeeTee, and Triple-Zero back in this issue as they are truly the greatest characters in this comic series. One note, despite what the numbering and what Amazon says, the comic is continued in the Vader Down collection which is a crossover with the Star Wars comic, but if you skip it you will be lost in the last two Darth Vader collections. This collection leads directly into Vader Down. Again, highly recommended. If you have read Volume 1, definitely continue with this one.

Post-"The Clone Wars" Annakin explained brilliantly in this series

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

This series artfully captures the gap in Annakin Skywalker's transition from the Clone Wars era ambitious youth to the Imperial era stoic tyrant. We get to see a side of Darth Vader that is not shown in the original series, while at the same time never betraying the original portrayal of this iconic character.

The story remains relevant even if the stakes feel somewhat low due to knowing that Darth Vader succeeds in the task he's set to - Vader frequently comments that this entire saga is a pointless waste of his time, and yet even so we don't feel like the story is boring. The characters that are introduced are interesting, and the main supporting cast (while small) keep me intrigued and wanting to know more, even though I don't normally go in for 'evil' protagonists.

My only gripe lies with the artwork. Let me be clear: the art and illustration is BEAUTIFUL, so this gripe is just a minor nitpick (hence the 5-star rating). That being said, I feel that the artist needs some work making human faces seem less out of place. Every human face really doesn't seem to fit the quality and detail of the rest of the artwork. Non-human faces (including, ironically, the still mask of Darth Vader) come through as expressive and well done, but human faces seem bizarrely contorted and lacking proper emotion. Let me reiterate though that this was merely the most notable - but still quite minor - flaw I could manage to find in the series thus far.

Gillen's stories stay true to Star Wars canon. A breath of life in a universe that was nearly destroyed by the "Disney sequels."

Love this series ! If you’re a Vader fan then you need to do yourself a favor and read the series. So far I have the first two books and they both come in perfect shape.

Holy Sith!!!! The dark lord strikes Back

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2016

Darth Vader volume two is every bit as good as volume one if not better. Aphra and her bounty hunter allies steal a boatload of credits and happen to get on Vader's bad side as he leads his Stormtroopers to track her down. Plus inspector thanoth and all the scum and villainy of the Star Wars universe you could ask for. Five stars all the way

Resistance is useless

It's time to dig up the original movie soundtracks so I can listen while I journey far away and long ago. It's the past that never was, as the talented artists and writers valiantly try to fill all of the Lucas plot holes. It's a daunting task, but the path is enthralling.

Volume 2 continues Vaders growing menace

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Continuing on from volume one, Darth Vader continues to exude calculating and cold menace. The exciting art is faultless and conveys action smoothly while the writing gives a window in to the world how Vader see it.

The worst of the series

The Vader line is worse than the Star Wars line, doesn’t feel like Star Wars and only a bias fan would actually say this series is any good. 1/10

Good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 25, 2016

It was an okay read, not as good as volume one - or indeed any of the other Star Wars Canon TPBs. I still enjoyed it but I felt it was lacking something. Some good stuff in it and some nice little easter eggs. I'd recommend any of the other Star Wars Canon graphic novels before this, but it's worth the money if you're a fan.
