Book Summary: “JOIN ME, AND TOGETHER, WE CAN RULE THE GALAXY AS FATHER AND SON!” In the shattering climax of The Empire Strikes Back, Darth Vader infamously reveals his true relationship to Luke Skywalker and invites his son to rule the galaxy at his side. But Luke refuses -- plunging into the abyss beneath Cloud City rather than turn to the Dark Side. We all remember Luke’s utter horror in this life-altering moment. But what about Vader? In this new epic chapter in the Darth Vader saga, the dark lord grapples with Luke’s unthinkable refusal and embarks on a bloody mission of rage-filled revenge against everything and everyone who had a hand in hiding and corrupting his only son. But even as he uncovers the secrets of Luke’s origins, Vader must face shocking new challenges from his own dark past. Writer Greg Pak and artist Raffaele Ienco unleash Darth Vader on his dark quest of vengeance and discovery!
Book Review: New Vader comic?



Okay, okay I am not going to spoil this issue especially if you have not picked up this one. Seriously if you haven't, you need to do so now!

This issue will follow Vader shortly after the events of Empire Strikes Back. Vader has revealed he is Luke's father and that the two of them could rule the universe together as father and son. Luke, on the other hand, has rejected this offer and made the decision to take the other route out of this confrontation between the two of them - by falling backward down the garbage shoot. Vader is in a fury for Luke being hidden from him and he heads off to Tattooine to find answers.

This issue, of course, ends on a cliffhanger and it has only made me more excited about the next issue. Vader is a force to be reckoned with and now with this obstacle in his way, how will Vader react to it all?

As I have stated in the past, Vader is one of my favorite misunderstood villains. I am glad to see him back in his own series again and I am looking forward to the direction in which this one will take.

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.
