Even a water world is no match for the Dark Side of the Force. Vader is out of his element, but is still just as deadly as he searches for hidden Jedi. This something you should pick up. Read Full Review

It may lack a kind of real cohesion in the long run because it's getting busy with so many projects but I'm loving what Charles Soule is exploring here as it delves in a lot of different areas masterfully. Read Full Review

Vader and Ochi are allies once more, and set to give Crimson Dawn an even larger pounding. Its hard to tell how long this union will continue, but readers should rest assured that Ochi will give out more action before the War of the Bounty Hunters concludes. Read Full Review

Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten.

When we last left Vader, he was sunk by a large squid-whale-thing never to be seen again. Well in this issue, we open with him sliding deeper under the water with his suit losing oxygen and breaking apart fast. Now being the most power Sith Lord to date, he basically strangles the beast with the force and uses it to get a ride closer to the surface. Once he sees his homeboys coming to save the day, he slices the squid-billy and hops on board with his troopers and inquisitors.

Meanwhile, we see that the Mon Calamari King, the one who basically released the Kraken on Vader in the first place, actually survived as well. His people take him back to their ship and try to fix him up only to realize right before he set Nessie on Vader, he was tortured and sold out the Jedi order hiding on his planet. The King tries to make contact with the Jedi Order to tell them to get moving cause Vader’s gonna get’cha!

Next, we get this amazing scene where “commander” Ackbar ( at the time of his story) takes about 6 small underwater speeders with these crazy super protected missiles and takes down this floating star destroyer platform on the surface of their planet. Seriously, don’t mess with the Mon Calamari people! These dudes single handedly took down fleets of the Empire with their crazy-awesome tech while holding off Vader and his inquisitors with a giant sea monster. They mean business!

Again, I say the same thing I do each issue, if you like Vader and love Star Wars, these are great stories to fill in the gaps between movies and give us a deeper mythos of the characters we love. Charlie Soule is killing it each month and continues to make me want to come back for my monthly Star Wars fix. He does a great job of balancing the old school Star Wars fan mythos while also sprinkling in some more
