Jun 18, 2018Be prepared for your jaw to hit the floor with the conclusion of this storyline. Soule continues his stunning winning streak with an outstanding conclusion to his Mon Cala saga. The artwork is also stellar, with some incredibly memorable visual moments. This is another "Must-Own" Star Wars chapter. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Andrew McAvoy
Jun 18, 2018You do reach for an issue of this series in complete and utter confidence that the story it will tell you will be interesting, the dialogue authentic and the art beautiful. It is perhaps the only Star Wars Marvel title that I can say that about. This issue fulfills those expectations yet again. Read Full Review

Jun 18, 2018Darth Vader 17 is bursting with action and a fantastic end to the Burning Sea story arc. Easily one of the best Star Wars comics I've read this year. Read Full Review

The Fandom Post - Chris Beveridge
Jun 19, 2018I enjoyed this arc overall, more so than the main series in the post-ANH period, as it delved into some good stuff in seeing how brutal Tarkin is and dabbling with the Inquisitors and the Order 66 element well. Read Full Review

Jun 13, 2018Compared to other bouts with Jedi in earlier issues, Vader's conflict with Barr felt the most fulfilling, as it offered readers not only compelling action but some surprising turns of events. Read Full Review

Razorfine - Alan Rapp
Jun 20, 2018While the Empire wins the day, an important admiral and a fleet of ships manage to escape the destruction of their homeworld. As Barr foresaw, the Rebellion just got stronger. But was the near total destruction of the surface world of Mon Cala worth it? Worth a look. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - John Edward Lee
Oct 27, 2021Vaders troubles with Crimson Dawn are not over as he seeks out to track them down. It would seem one of his partners just might be in league with Crimson Dawn already. Its too soon to predict if that will become and advantage or betrayal to the Dark Lord. Read Full Review

Another great story. This is even brings some more unity to the whole Star Wars saga. The stakes are high and still offers some expected twists and turns. I continue to absolutely love this series.

This issue was a pretty strong conclusion to the "Burning Seas" story arc, but it did feel a little rushed. I liked Sixth Brother's backstabbing, it was perfectly in line with how I expect the inquisitors to act. I would have liked to see a little more of Vader's duel with Barr, we didn't even get to see his actual death. I've very curious what will happen with Verla, I'm assuming she escaped for a reason and we will see her again in the future. Camuncoli's artwork was great again this issue, he just keeps getting better and better at drawing Vader.

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. Just when you think you know what's going on, Soule goes ahead and does the old switch-a-roo and turns this last couple of issues upside down. We were led to believe that Barr was a Jedi Master and that he was a good guy. Turns out, neither of those are true at all. The issue opens with Barr asking for Order 66 and explains to the clones that the Inquisitors were once defected Jedi's. Since the inquisitors admitted to the clones in front of Barr AND since we find out that the clones are basically secretly programmed to kill all Jedi on sight, they turn on the In more

This issue concludes what's been a fabulous arc, with another superb issue. The reveal of who was behind the assassination of the imperial ambassador and reveal that he was a wee bit unhinged were unexpected (not just to me but to Lee-Char too) but was a great twist. Story ends in the place you expected it too, but was a great journey getting there.

I loved how the ending ended with the proficiency, but for some reason this just has me wishing for a great stand a lone Star Wars comic series.
