Third solo entry/story arc in Marvel's new Daert Vader line of stories, which see's Vader returning to the planet of Shu-torun, where he had previously installed a puppet ruler, to deal with a rebellion (small r) on that planet - a rebellion that has nothing at all to do with the Rebellion (capital R).

Having read this, it almost seems like the planet itself is more-or-less a stand in for Mustafar, complete with boiling lakes of lava and a character falling into such (sound familar at all?). Vader also seemingly has completely forgotten about the news Boba Fett brought him previously re. Luke Skywalker, as there's not a single mention of him at all in these pages. There's also nothing like the panels in Vader down, where he single-handedly takes on an entire platoon (and wins).

In short, the story-arc itself is a little forgettable, with no real connection to the films, and with no panels showing just why Vader is so feared.

I’m really enjoying the fact that the main character isn’t a typical hero.

The best Vader comic yet! I can't wait to find out what's revealed in the next volume.

Aphra y Vader se separan para capturar a Skywalker, pareciera que todo va bien para atraparlo, pero hay demasiadas cartas en juego. Los rebeldes, el imperio y los cazarrecompensas.
