The use of the black/white/red thing over the past several years doesn't mean as much as it once did but what I get from it are generally good anthology books. And those are hard to come by. Getting the first of four parts of an anthology Star Wars series here focused on Vader is definitely welcome and they're tales that you can either keep or toss away as part of canon and not worry about it. What you want is to just enjoy what these creators can do in playing in short form with the property and either going wild in their way or rich and deep in others. All three stories have great points to them and have that labor of love feeling that delivers. Read Full Review

Delivering two stories of attempts to eradicate Darth Vader and one story of his inescapable presence, Darth Vader Black, White & Red continues the trajectory of the Marvel imprint by delivering captivating tales in a rudimentary color scheme that heightens the intensity of each ordeal.

Star Wars: Darth Vader Black, White & Red #1 brings Vader fan three new tales featuring their favorite Sith Lord. While anthologies from Marvel Comics are not alway that great, even in the Black, White and Red series, this issue at least is okay. Two out of the three stories in the comic are good. The first story is an ongoing story that's good and will carry over into all four issues. Then there's the second story written and drawn by Peach Momoko, and this one steals the show as the best in this issue with its cool and surreal Darth Vader imagery. Hopefully the next issue of the series will keep up the pace. Read Full Review

This was an interesting mix of stories. Firstly, we had Aaron and Kirk's story, which is a solid set up that provides a lot of intrigue, although it was a tad too short for my liking. In the middle, we have a beautifully horrifying dreamlike scene from Peach Momoko. This really leaned into Vader's ominous presence, and it was a joy to view. Lastly, we had the story from Grønbekk and Janson. While I wasn't the biggest fan of Janson's art, Grønbekk provided an intriguing story with, what I perceived to be, a commentary on organizations/corporations, while also maintaining Vader's status as one of the highest and most feared threats in the Star Wars universe (Something I, somewhat, alluded to when talking about the second story). Overall, this was an enjoyable opener for this anthology series; I'm interested to see where Aaron & Kirk's story goes, and I'm also looking forward to what the next set of creators have to offer in Issue 2. more

1st and 3rd story were good, the 2nd was a filler story that is pretty much a picture book.
