Still though, for a story that works with a handicap, DARTH VADER #10 is strong all the way around and well-worth a read. Read Full Review

Vader largely takes a backseat role in this issue as his new allies (or frenemy, in the case of Inspector Thannoth), do most of the heavy lifting. But given how strong the book's supporting cast has become, this is hardly an issue. Read Full Review

The Darth Vader series continues to be pretty much the best of the Star Wars books and that's some very fierce competition. There's a lot of things in motion here and the balance is playing well with what it wants to do. Vader isn't primary in this issue yet his presence looms large and his time in it is spot on in coming across as ominous and imposing. Sending his minions off to do his bidding and gathering information fills in a few of the blanks and the end result helps to paint a larger and more interesting picture that takes us to that scene in Empire where he confronts Luke with the truth. Very good stuff here that's made even better by Larroca's artwork. His design work here, from character details to backgrounds, is impressive. Most impressive. Hopefully his take on Aphra will become defining. Read Full Review

Darth Vader #10 is yet another solid entry into the series, as although things have slowed down a bit on the Vader side of this comic in the build-up to Vader Down, we've certainly had plenty of intriguing developments elsewhere. We also get a rather symbolic twist within this entry, as the creators delve deeper into the Star Wars mythos. Read Full Review
