Rated T
Target: Vader had some good story ideas in the mix and some very fun action sequences as well. But as a whole concept it didn't come together as strong as it could have, at least when viewed in this monthly-ish release format. The changing of artists frustrated me a lot and the main story is one that worked well enough but was drawn out more than it should have been. I like exploring non-standard stuff within the Star Wars realm but I'm getting a bit tired of the over-reliance on Vader as the main boogeyman when several others can be used depending on the time period.

If you were already reading this series I would recommend this instalment to see how it ends and if you have not read any of the series it is easy enough to grab this one and the others or wait until the trade paperback comes out to get them all at once. Read Full Review
Devout fans of the character will likely enjoy this six-issue run, though it also confirms that maybe there was a good reason why Valance was largely forgotten for years. Read Full Review
This was a good series and this issue was good but didn't land any large punches or an exciting ending. Although, this issue did well in setting up the future ongoing series with Valance.
