    Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli have long since proven that a second Darth Vader comic was a wise move on Marvel's part. This series is just as skilled as its predecessor when it comes to subtly illuminating the man underneath Vader's armor. While it's a little strange to see the Inquisitorius so abruptly drop out of the story, in all other aspects this issue is a fantastic end-cap to the book's second story arc. Read Full Review

    This series could not be wound tighter. It is very clear that the arc, and series as a whole is about to snap into a grand showdown. Vader has faced every demon he has ever known to get to this point. How ever will Palpatine ultimately get Vaders leash back on him? Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson Jan 13, 2018

    An intense issue which makes a minor character into a legit bad@$$ and provides a look into the mind of Skywalker/Vader... Good stuff. Read Full Review

    The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge Jan 16, 2018

    This iteration of Vader has another very solid issue that, like the series, builds to its strengths the more the issue goes on. The pacing here is very engaging and I like the use of so many different elements, particularly the Clone Troopers and just how much of an unknown Vader is at this point as his reputation is only beginning. The artwork is strong throughout and I really liked the abrupt end to Nu herself as it felt like a very Vader thing to do in how he deals with her. There's a lot of gray in the mix here as you can imagine that even though he's become this thing that he's still struggling with the war within him as that little bit of good peeks out from time to time. It just makes me more excited to see where this series can go " and leaves me hopeful someone will pick up on that rifle concept and run with it. Read Full Review

    A good Star Wars story conclusion that, while predictable on some level, remains well-written and artistically assembled on the page. Read Full Review

    Another great Star Wars title that delivers a fantastic battle, a connection between Rogue One and Revenge of the Sith. Plus showing a young Darth Vader in action. Read Full Review

    Ochi is still tagging along, although it's still unclear what further purpose he has to play (other than witness to Vader's accomplishments and eventually end up with a dagger). Read Full Review
