Here. We. GO.

Vader Down. Oh Man oh man.

You like Star Wars?

You like Star Wars comics?

Wanna see Luke being an irresponsible kid who's just doing good for the shake of being good without thinking the consequences but while being stupid he keeps being awesome too? 

Wanna see Darth Vader against a fucking army?

That's yo shit.

You should go read it right now.

Awesome stuff from beginning till the end.

Vader hunts Luke. Luke's with the Rebels. A fucking ARMADA of Rebels find Vader outside of a little planet of old gone lost and forgotten Jedi Temples...

Luke tries to blow Vader out the sky.

Vader has other plans.

Vader tries to blow EVERYONE out the sky.

And then there's Han Solo with Leia and R2D2 with Luke, C3PO with Chewie and they're all have someone to deal with.

I even liked Aphra at the end? That... was unexpected. I was having no opinion about that character, she was just there for the whole Darth Vader run so far, messing with the storyline making me not really care about her and making me angry that I wasn't getting more Darth Vader story.

But now, now it gets interesting, it gets MUCH more interesting than before (you'll see why, I won't spoil it). Also, you'll love the C3PO+R2D2 counterparts inside. Man, that was just briliant and so funny, the dialoge between them doppelgangers was GOLD. (get it?) 

Anyway, all in all, great run, great story, awesome artwork, some panels are just majestic. Deserve a 2nd a 3rd and a 5th look. Pure Art.

Read it you nerds!

This was tons of fun, which is what I want in my Star Wars comic books. Fan service = fun. In Vader Down (like in Rogue One) we get to see what Darth Vader is fully capable of. Seeing the Dark Lord of the Sith downed on an unfriendly planet surrounded by his enemies after inadvertently running into the Rebellion’s fleet, he is forced to survive on his own as an unstoppable force of nature. The stakes are new really high for Vader but for everyone else: the fear is real. This crossover graphic novel, in which we get to see Dr. Aphra (one of my favorite characters in the new canon) fighting Han Solo is wonderful entertainment.
