Doctor Aphra takes the murderous bots of doom to Naboo to have a little chat with a man named Tahn, while we learn Vader might be underestimating his adjutant Thanoth in Darth Vader #10, another solid entry in the series that stays par for the course.

Aphra makes headway on the information Vader requested (leading to a possibly very surprising and intriguing moment in the series ahead), while Vader and Inspector Thanoth play a game of cat and mouse, acting like a Sherlock and Watson who never truly trusts each other. Darth Vader‘s #9 issue is another solid entry in the series. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #9”

Darth Vader‘s second arc picks up steam in issue #8, where Aprha’s plan to steal a large Imperial-held sum of credits with the help of bounty hunters takes some fun turns and Grand General Tagge makes a much appreciated, and very problematic (for Vader), return to the fold.

Following up on the excellent Darth Vader #6 was never going to be easy, especially since it was linked expertly with Star Wars #6, but somehow the team behind DV have managed quite well in #7 and certainly better than I would’ve ever expected. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #7”

Darth Vader uncovers what the Emperor has been planning behind his back and it’s…well, let’s just say Darth Vader #5 doesn’t do a perfect job explaining it, but it’s a highly unexpected research project that raises tons of questions and opens up intriguing new avenues never before explored in Star Wars.

After the third issue took some time off the plot to introduce the wonderful trio of Doctor Aphra, Triple Zero, and BT-1, Darth Vader #4 kicks back into high gear, moving the plot at a brisk pace with new characters who don’t disappoint and one of Vader’s bounty hunters comes through.

Vader makes a highly entertaining, and slightly referential, friend in Doctor Aphra and her two newly restored and insanely deadly droids. Who knew Darth Vader having a BFF could be exactly what we’d want to see/would work so well? Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #3”
