I'm not joking when I say that this series ups the ante every issue. Usually when that occurs, the series stumbles and who knows that could happen in the next issue, but for now it manages to impress me each and every month. How many other comics make a reader that excited? Hell, I haven't enjoyed a Star Wars comic this much in years! Do yourself a favor and pick this series up because it's not receiving nearly enough praise for how good it is and it's well worth it. Read Full Review
The best issue in this series yet! Read Full Review
Ultimately this issue offers a nice side quest for Darth Vader, but doesn't push the assassin story forward much, if at all. The art is good, and the connection to the overarching movie universe is strong enough to make any fan giddy with anticipation. Once again the art will blow you away and there's plenty of story and dialogue to keep you guessing at every turn. Read Full Review
Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin #4 may not truly move things along in the main plot but it yields an interesting ride nonetheless. Recommended. Read Full Review
Overall, Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin #4 is an above average comic, but not exceedingly so.
