I actually loved this one and going to add it to my collection. My favorites are the first one with the planet and the one with the crazy lady crush 😃😏Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
Five one shots trying desperately to spread Vader’s myth throughout the galaxy...Since they all range from meh to meh the myth here looks like a dud.
Very solid and enjoyable collection of five short stories, each offering a new and different perspective on Darth Vader and his place in the world of Star Wars. Out of five stories, only one (#4) I’d say wasn’t that good, and even then it’s just mediocre. Other stories, especially the first three, are excellent and really show some interesting angles on Vader from the perspective of people surrounding him. The art is solid throughout. Overall, a fun quick read I’d recommended to any Star Wars fa...
A pretty disparate anthology featuring different perspectives on Vader being an implacable badass. The most outrageous one was probably the one featuring a nurse romantically obsessed with the man behind the mask.Fantasy dream sequence. I hope?Some girls sure can pick 'em, eh?
This is a solidly "okay" collection of short vignettes featuring Vader. The best Star Wars writers can write Vader in such a way that you can sense Anakin behind the mask. These stories don't do that at all—they give only an Episode 4–level understanding of the character: the mysterious, evil, terrifying dark knight. It's fine, though there have been much better graphic novels about Vader in the past few years.The image of Vader as the cover of a romance novel will be hard to forget.
Rating of 4.5Prepare to see one of the most iconic and beloved villains in all of fiction, Darth Vader, in a whole new light as Dennis “Hopeless” Hallum and several talented artists present five new and clever stories of the Dark Lord of the Sith from across the galaxy.To most of the universe, Darth Vader is the Empire’s ultimate symbol of power, authority and fear, delivering death and destruction upon all who incur his wrath. But to some he can be something even more potent and remarkable. On
Each of these 5 issues is a standalone story featuring Darth Vader being savage af. This book pulls no punches. I loved it. It’s a love letter to Darth Vader at his most evil and callous. The badass moments abound. Definitely a nice treat for the fanboys.
Short stories all portraying different perspectives of Vader.
Entertaining
This is a collection of stories about the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. I found it fun and entertaining throughout. [Warning: Spoilers possibly to come]The first one shows Vader in a scenario in which Evil battles Evil -- with the outcome leading certain observers to believe that what they're really seeing is Good vs Evil. As Obie Won might say, it "all depends upon a certain point of view". The second one, I think, is illustrative of why, notwithstanding the belief in their efficiency, totalit...
Man, Marvel sure loves their Darth Vader, don’t they? First there was Kieron Gillen’s awesome 25-issue “Darth Vader” run. Then Charles Soule followed that up with his own equally awesome 25-issue run of “Darth Vader – Dark Lord of the Sith”. Coming up in the next few months, we’ve got Robbie Thompson’s miniseries “Star Wars: Target Vader.” And just wrapped is now Dennis Hopeless’ “Darth Vader: Dark Visions,” a 5-issue miniseries comprised of individual one-shots, each one detailing a different s...
Five one shots written from the perspective of those revolving around the orbit of Darth Vader. The first three are good. The last 2 pretty bland. I like the story where Darth Vader fights the kaiju and is seen as a savior by the city's inhabitants. The story about the nurse with a fixation on Vader was good as well. The art is hit and miss throughout.
It's like I tell my students: plagiarism is an automatic failing grade.It's easy enough to Google, but Chuck Wendig was originally working on a Vader anthology series. He was fired, the series was canceled, and then Marvel suddenly announced a new Vader anthology series written by someone else. That's suspicious enough. But when the third issue in Vader: Dark Visions came out, Wendig admitted on Twitter that the story was similar—incredibly similar, in fact—to the third issue he had already writ...
No issue was bad but most were just ok. Issue number three was my favourite and brought the rating up to 3.5 stars.
I read this volume via Kindle Unlimited. Can I just say that Kindle Unlimited having loads of comic trades is like saving my wallet so much. This is a collection I hadn't yet heard of, so when it came up in my recommendations, I was intrigued as to why. Basically, this is some short stories about Vader outside of the main Star Wars storyline. Vader doing what he does best, and creating his evil manipulative master of the universe energy I guess. We see him save himself, and in turn, save a civ
Here's another comic I got on sale at the end of 2019 on Comixology- Vader: Dark Visions! We've had a ton of vader centric content in the comics of late, between Kieren Gillen's Vader series taking place between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, the Dark Lord of the Sith series from Charles Soule, Target Vader, and a new "rebooted" Darth Vader series that will take place between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In between Dark Lord of the Sith and Target Vader, we were gi...
The back cover talks about how the book shows Vader in a slightly different light. They should turn that light off.The first story, showing Vader as a Dark Knight, isn't bad, and is well drawn. But the 'Tall, Dark and Handsome' story was just wrong on so many levels, not the least making light of a woman with apparent mental issues. Hotshot was okay until the final pages, and 'You Can Run' goes weird places for no good reason. 'Unacceptable' is of middling quality, but that still makes it one of...
it’s pretty amazing how some can idolize, obsess over, or completely despise dark vader depending on their first impression of him
This is a collection of short stories that concentrate on how people view Darth Vader. These views can range from abject fear to all the way to fanaticism. These stories don't really add anything to the overall canon so it is not a required reading.I am not the biggest fan of short stories but I really enjoyed these stories about Vader. Whether it was a viewpoint of savior or to total desperation because a character fears to disappoint Darth Vader this was a very pleasant look into his reputatio...
What... what did I just read?That was the weirdest bunch of SW comics I've read in a while.Not even just weird. The Aphra comics are kind of weird, but I've gotten into a rhythm with those. But this... some of these stories were so dark and depressing that part of me regrets ever reading this. I had to jump right into Clone Wars Adventures volume 9 to stop feeling so weird.Also, I don't know why this is titled "Dark Visions." This is just a collection of five completely unrelated stories that in...
