STAR WARS: DARTH VADER – BLACK, WHITE & RED will be the latest in Marvel’s BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD line, the series that has spotlighted deadly characters such as Wolverine, Elektra, Moon Knight and Deadpool, showcasing their most shocking adventures in stunning black, white, and RED! Now readers will see Darth Vader unleashed like never before in tales of terror set throughout the Dark Lord of the Sith’s brutal history!
Announced earlier yesterday on StarWars.com STAR WARS: DARTH VADER – BLACK, WHITE & RED will be crafted by an all-star lineup of comics talent including Jason Aaron! The superstar New York Times bestselling writer who helped launch Marvel’s current Star Wars comics to great success in 2015 and penned some of Vader’s most iconic comic book moments along the way, returns to a galaxy far, far away!
Aaron will team up with fellow Star Wars mastermind Leonard Kirk for a rousing saga that will span all four issues. The debut issue will also include a story written and drawn by visionary creator Peach Momoko in her first-ever interior work for a Star Wars comic and mark the Star Wars debut of acclaimed writer Torunn Grønbekk.
In the announcement by StarWars.com Jason Aaron said:
“‘All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men.’ That moment from ‘Vader Down’ is still one of my favorite things I’ve written during my time at Marvel. I loved getting to let Darth Vader cut loose with all his power in such an epic way. And I couldn’t pass up the chance to revel in the dark side again and put Vader in an even more perilous situation… and then see how he carves his way out.”
Editor Mark Paniccia also said about the project:
“This is a project we’ve been waiting to do for a while and we’ve got more amazing talent lined up that I can’t wait to announce. It’s such a thrill to use this unique storytelling approach on one of the greatest villains in the galaxy.”
