Writer Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Journey Into Mystery, Iron Man) and artist Salvador Larroca (Invincible Iron Man, X-Men: No More Humans) bring us a peek behind the mask of evil!
I've taken an interest in Doctor Aphra and I'm considering grabbing her first appearance. In reading her first appearance in Issue 3; I discovered that this Vader series is incredible! Art and story telling is top notch.
I’ve read the first 7 issues in one go. Love this series and I’m intrigued by Aphra and Vader as their relationship develops. On to issue 8 as Aphra attempts to steal some imperial credits.
ReplyDeleteAwesome issue 8. Vader is assigned another case by his new superior. He is also assigned a second investigator to watch him while he “deals with this difficult transition”. The imperial army isn’t happy with Vader after the loss of their Death Star. In to issue 9. Can Vader hide who stole those credits?
ReplyDeleteIssue 9 done. Aphra is going to Naboo. The investigator is starting to suspect Vader is involved with the theft.
ReplyDeleteFinished issue 19. Thanks tot he help of Doctor Aphra, Vader learns that Queen Amidela did indeed have a son, and that this Naboo child is his. Vader continues to seek this child who destroyed his Death Star: while still working for the imperial empire who have hired a very skilled detective to find who stole the imperial credits…. Which Vader and Aphra previous stole a few issues ago. Issue 10 ends with a camera listening in on the conversation between Aphra and Vader about this unknow Naboo child.
