Darth Vader #1

In the new Darth Vader series, (Pak, Ienco, Menon) readers find the terrifying Lord of the Sith in deep contemplation after his confrontation with his son. Star Wars writer Greg Pak takes on weaving new tales of the armored ex-Jedi. Set in the wake of the events of The Empire Strikes Back, this is an attempt to provide audiences with similar high level storytelling the previous Vader series was known for. This time however, the series takes place in a new chapter that runs parallel to the Star Wars and the Doctor Aphra ongoing series.

Astonishing X-Men (2004) #57-58

Aquaman – Deep Dives #1: Not TOO Deep of a Dive, but Deep Enough

By Matt Meyer May 2, 2020

Aquaman – Deep Dives (DC Digital)

Marginal through and through, Aquaman – Deep Dives #1 (Orlando, Sampere, Albarran, Lucas) doesn’t give new readers much to be interested in or vintage Aquaman fans anything all that new or interesting to care about. The art is strong, but everything else is serviceable at best and forgettable at worst.
