Book Summary: THE DEVIL’S APPRENTICE! SUPREME LEADER SNOKE’S brutal training of KYLO REN begins. Will the sadistic Snoke break his tormented protégé? Or has he underestimated the son of HAN and LEIA?
Book Review: So I decided to give this a read tonight and I all I can say to this book is: "meh."

It did nothing to offer any sort of information of Snoke. All it did was give us Kylo Ren and his training. So this book really had not much to do with Snoke except of his training of Kylo Ren. :/

If you are looking to add this to your collection, don't. It is not worth it. You will not be impressed whatsoever by the characters.

Book Summary: Featuring action-packed extras including a Cover Gallery, Script, Inked And Color Pages and more! FACE THE FUTURE. Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman (SECRET WARS, AVENGERS, FANTASTIC FOUR) takes the reins of the X-Men universe! Since the release of Uncanny X-Men #1, there have been four seminal moments in the history of the X-Men. Giant-Sized X-Men. X-Men. Age of Apocalypse. New X-Men. Four iconic series that introduced a new era for Marvel’s mutants and revolutionized the X-Men. In House of X, Charles Xavier reveals his master plan for mutantkind…one that will bring mutants out of the shadow of mankind and into the light once more.
Book Review: "To me, my X-Men."
-Charles Xavier

The X-Universe is changing and in place we are seeing something quite different from what we have been used to. Mutants are becoming the dominant race and humans are learning this. Charles Xavier, the ever commander of the X-Men, has been boasted to nearly a God-like status with Isle of Krakoa his Garden of Eden.

This series is promising. I have to say the storyline is intriguing and I am quite interested in which direction this series will go and exactly how all of this is going to change to X-Universe but we know with all of this, there is bound to be some sort of trouble on the horizon. What exactly it may be remains to be seen.

So I am quite looking forward to seeing how all of this pans out and what sort of change this does to the X-Universe.

Book Summary: Learn the truth about one of the X-Men’s closest allies…and then begin the fight for the future of mutantkind!
Book Review: Enter Moira MacTaggert - and guess what? She's a mutant with the ability to reincarnate and remember her past lives!

This issue was 'meh' at most. I nearly came to a point that I nearly didn't finish it but I forced myself to get through the entire thing. I like the idea of Moira interacting with both Destiny and Mystique. I think that is the ONLY thing that saved this issue. Otherwise don't reall bother to pick this one up.

Book Summary: YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT VADER! DARTH VADER may be the most feared man in the galaxy. But to the proud Grand Moffs of THE EMPIRE, he’s just the Emperor’s apprentice – below them in the hierarchy. But what fury burns in the heart of a SITH with such overwhelming rage when a mere Moff dares command him? And at what point does Darth Vader show them his true power?
Book Review: Vader may the most feared Sith in the galaxy but his leash is held by Palpatine and when Palpatine orders that Vader listen to the regional Governor. Unfortunately for the Governor, everytime he sends Vader out with the hopes that Vader will not only fail but die, Vader seems to return. But when Vader is given the order to destroy the most dangerous creature in an asteroid belt, Vader goes out and comes back angering the Governor whom learns that Vader is just doing what he has been ordered.

Vader is one of the most interesting characters in the Star Wars universe, simply because we don't know what exactly he is up to inbetween episode 3 and 4. Now we are getting glimpses and we can see that Vader continues his rampage against the Jedi as he sets out to destroy all of them.

Vader continues to be one of my favorite characters and I really enjoyed this issue. It was a bit short but well worth the read. There are moments where you can see Vader trying to fight against the leash that Palpatine has on him but in the end you know he can't fight against it.

I wish the Star Wars universe had a "What If" to it. There could be so many different ways these things could go.
