Spotted Online – Star Wars: Darth Vader Starts in February
In February, 2015, Marvel is launching a new ongoing comic, Star Wars: Darth Vader. The Comic Book Resources article interviews writer Kieron Gillen and discusses the ideas behind the new series. Set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, this explores territory we’ve seen before . . . but with the elimination of the Expanded Universe there’s no telling what will happen in these new comics.
I’m looking forward to giving this a try, but I’ve gotta admit that Marvel has a long way to go to top the work Dark Horse has done with Darth Vader over the last few years. If you’re at all a Vader fan — and have yet to try them — I highly recommend Dark Horse’s recent Darth Vader hardcover graphic novels:
- Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command*
- Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison*
- Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Ninth Assassin*
