Another good, but not great, Star wars book. The funny thing about these Marvel star wars books is that they are all solid but not great. Why? They are considered canon now and can not do anything drastic to change events of the movies. So in doing so we have Vader go to war. However, Vader is in episode 5 and 6. So you know nothing will happen to him. So the all mighty Vader decides to face off against a whole planet on top of the twins who have betrayed him. Overall, the visuals are a treat an...

A back to basics story with Vader oppressing the galaxy by propping up an Empire installed queen. There really isn’t anyone on the “Rebel” side worth caring about, but Vader’s relationship with the Emperor and other power players in the Empire is still interesting. I’d describe this one as entertaining but not earth shattering.

5 🌟Darth Vader travels to Shu-Torun with Cylo and his experiments to deal with the ore-miners revolt.

Darth Vader installs a puppet Queen on the mining planet of Shu-Torun after putting down their rebellion against the Empire. But a new rebellion begins and he must return to quash it once more… zzz...Yup, Kieron Gillen and Salvadar Larroca’s Darth Vader series still sucks! Probably because the whole “rebellion against the Empire” thing is a forgone conclusion for this nothing planet but there’s almost no character work for anyone new here, particularly the rebel side, so it’s hard to give a monk...

This was a good, back-to-basics "Vader helps the Empire divide, oppress and conquer" story. The whole Doctor Aphra storyline gets put on pause to allow the Galaxy's Least Merry Man to crush a local rebellion with death-defying feats of bad-assery and stone cold put-downs.And, yeah, insist he ballroom dance at your peril.His new droid sidekicks are still along for the ride as comic relief, as are a couple of cyborg twits as allies/antagonists.The most interesting character, for me, turns out to b...

Interesting as it was to see how the Empire deals with worlds under it's thumb, a fairly mediocre plot unfolds that introduces characters who don't play that big of a part in much of anything. I will be curious to see if this series ever manages to again capture the magic that was Star Wars: Vader Down.

Don’t ever ask a Sith Lord to dance. Darth Vader is diverted from his secret agenda of tracking down Luke Skywalker when the Emperor sends him on a mission to put down a budding rebellion on a mining planet of critical importance. This doesn’t advance the core plot that’s been driving this series, but it is a pretty cool side story in which we get to see Vader be a total bad ass as he asserts Imperial authority. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about the story gaps these comics are filling in...

I am a huge fan of the first two volumes of Marvel's Vader book. Loved every minute of 'em. This one, though? Not so much.It was OK. Entertaining enough in its way. It just didn't excite me like the first two did. Maybe the novelty's wearing off. It all felt a little... directionless? I don't know; it just didn't click like the first two did.

Dont ask Vader to dance.....ever. More double crossing and espionage in this 3rd volume and Gillen is creating interesting stories. Vader is sent to Shu-torun to help with a rebellion because the empire needs its metal manufacturing. He continues to kick ass left and right while installing a new ruler and overthrowing a rebellion of ore barons. triple zero and beetee are still up evil shenanigans and they remain a super fun part of the plot. The evil Cylo and his jedi twins are plotting a double...

Darth Vader’s macabre dance! I got this storyarc on its single comic book issues but I chose to make the review using this TPB edition to make a better overall review. The story is set after the events of “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” but before the events of “Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back”. This TPB edition contains from the title of “Star Wars: Darth Vader” #16-19 + Annual #1 in its new Marvel Canonic run.Creative Team:Writer: Keiron GillenIllustrators: Salvador Larroca & Leinil Yu DA

The story's a bit weak, and there isn't much of a point to any of it. That said, it was pretty interesting to see the way the Empire deals with a rebellious world that they need to operate.

Love reading Vader on Prime!These are some pretty good stories and the art is fantastic. I really like several of the non-movie characters (like triple zero). Vader is complex, a tortured soul. Thanks to Prime i can read many of the Star War Vader collections on my 10 in Fire tablet.

*4.25This one was REALLY cool.I think it took a couple of volumes for Vader to really get in his stride with these books, but he's doing fantastic now. I really liked the part where (view spoiler)[he said he didn't care if Aphra was alive or not (hide spoiler)], because it was harsh but totally in character.(view spoiler)[Queen (hide spoiler)]Trios was definitely a fascinating character. And trust me, this series needed some more good side characters. Aside from the twins (more on them in a seco...

A bit inferior to the first volume.

Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca are killing it with this Vader series. I wish the Star Wars EU books could be this good. Vader is sent to Shu-Torun to stop the resistance there and get production for the Empire back to normal. I would have liked to see the story expanded as I found the culture of this world interesting.

Ok, clearly, this is not a trilogy as expected (I presumed while there are more volumes about Vader, the main story arc would be concluded after this volume).The issues collected here tell the story of Vader having to put down rebellious barons that usually mine rare and important ores for the Empire. There is a lot of back-stabbing, and not only at court but all around Vader. The story felt a bit disjointed as Aphra was suddenly missing and the droids (Beetee and Triple-Zero) were with Vader. A...

After clashing with Jason Aaron in the comic book crossover Star Wars: Vader Down, Kieron Gillen goes solo once again with the third volume of his Darth Vader series. I have mixed feelings about Kieron Gillen's Star Wars: Darth Vader. I don't hate the series by any means of the word, but it has been consistently disappointing for most of its run. I completely adored the first volume, Vader. It set up a fascinating and compelling storyline that explores the aftermath of the first Death Star's des...

Another good volume.I just love 0-0-0 and BT-1!!! XD

Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca's Darth Vader epic marches onwards as Vader finds himself involved in a war that he didn't start, but he'll damn well end.Like volume 3 of Star Wars (which I read just prior to this), this volume is 4 issues of the main story and an annual that introduces the concept that drives the main story. So we open with Leinil Yu (who drew the Rebel Jail story in Star Wars) bringing Darth Vader to Shu-torun and its many political intricacies. When he returns for the main...
