The Darth Vader series continues to be a whole lot of fun and this installment is no exception at all. Vader's body count continues to grow and I delight at the way Palpatine watches so much of this play out as it feels very right for him. At the same time, seeing what Ochi and the others are up to and how they handle actually being viewed positively is comical and unnerving at the same time. But the big part for me is that I'm once again glad to see Sabe here as she continues her mission that has dominated her life and executing it carefully and with a lot of smarts. She's an excellent character that I hope to see more of. Read Full Review
Given how often we've seen Vader and Palpatine demonstrate the ways in which they control the galaxy, seeing their plans starting to become unhinged offered an underexplored theme for the galaxy far, far away, making for one of the more entertaining installments in this series in months.

As seconds scurry around in the shadows of the Sith, all trying to angle the avalanche away from themselves or towards their adversaries, this issue cleans house of several Imperial loyalists. How many of them were the competent minds that left room for the likes of Ozzel and Piett? In his quest to win, again, Vader shows himself trapped by the galaxy's structure, which seems to be a common trait for the Skywalker line. That's a bit grim to observe but has a certain Westworld-ish charm as well. Read Full Review
