Darth Vader #1: I Hate Sand, Memoir of a Dark Lord

By John Edward Lee February 7, 2020

Darth Vader #1: Dark Heart of the Sith Part I

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 upcoming Doctor Aphra ongoing series.

Detective Comics #1019 (Tomasi, Godlewski): I love the idea of Batman having a Norse themed villain, but substituting that for a monster of indescribable horror is an even better choice!
