Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #14 – Vader Down Part 4

Darth Vader #14 - Vader Down Part 4

Spoiler Review –

Leia makes a surprising (but understandable) choice, Dr. Aphra’s hairy ally joins the fray, and the being responsible for the events within Vader Down arrives to take out his main rival. Darth Vader #14, part 4 of Vader Down, is an entertaining issue where everyone gets put into place for the last two issues of this crossover event.

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #13 – Vader Down Part 2

Darth Vader #13 - Vader Down Part 2

Spoiler Review –

Darth Vader #13 is part 2 of the crossover event between it and the Star Wars series called Vader Down. With Vader stranded on Vrogas Vas, surrounded by rebels and with more on the way, he proves why he’s a Dark Lord of the Sith by not letting anything stand in the way of him reaching his son, who’s also stranded on the planet. Deadly, entertaining, and exciting, Darth Vader‘s 13th issue starts to show the potential of crossing over these two series.

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #12

Darth Vader #12

Spoiler Review –

The Darth Vader series’ second arc, “Shadows and Secrets,” comes to a satisfying conclusion in issue #12, all the while setting the stage for the first crossover event of the new canon comics (between the DV and Star Wars series): “Vader Down.” Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #12”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #11

Darth Vader #11

Spoiler Review –

Inspector Thanoth gets ever closer to uncovering the truth about the missing Imperial credits, forcing Aphra, her two destructive droids, and Vader into some really tight spots. Aphra fans (like myself), things aren’t looking so good for our favorite archaeologist after Darth Vader #11.

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #10

Darth Vader #10

Spoiler Review –

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. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #10”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #9

Darth Vader #9 issue

Spoiler Review –

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”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #8

Darth Vader #8

Spoiler Review –

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. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #8”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #7

Marvel's Darth Vader #7 Review

Spoiler Review –

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”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #6

Darth Vader #6 review

Spoiler Review –

Vader faces his (new) rivals, but the greater battle happens within himself once he’s forced to face the truth about the Rebel pilot who destroyed the Death Star. Darth Vader #6 brings the first arc to a close in a big, emotional way, while setting up some developments well-worth seeing as the series continues. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #6”

Canon Comic Review: Darth Vader #5

Darth Vader #5

Spoiler Review –

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.
