Canon Comic Retrospective: Darth Vader – Dark Lord of the Sith Series

Darth Vader Dark Lord of the Sith Complete Series Retrospective

– Full Spoiler Review –

How does a Jedi Knight turn into a Dark Lord? Well, if you’re newly christened Darth Vader, it’s not the way that you think.

Oh, and you’ll have to find a list containing your own potential replacements from the galaxy’s second baddest ass librarian. While baby-sitting the newly formed Inquisitorious, which may also be your potential replacements. You’ll also have to put up with attempted assassination attempts from fellow Imperials.

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader – Dark Lord of the Sith “Fortress Vader” Arc (Issues #19-25)

Darth Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith Fortress Vader Arc Review

– Spoiler Review –

As the solicitations rolled in, we also learned it would dive into the story of the mysterious Sith helmet known as Lord Momin (first introduced in Soule’s Lando miniseries), and later the unfortunate news came that it would be the final arc for the series. As consistently exciting and impressive as the series had been, could writer Charles Soule and art team cap off the series in an expansive, 7 issue finale? While it might not have started out strong, “Fortress Vader” ended on such a fantastic high note it easily continues the success of the creative team.
