If you are any sort of Star Wars fan, be it movie/ comics/ cartoons, you would know of two things that is happening this year. First and foremost - part 7 or rather VII of the movie is coming out next month and secondly, more in relation to our reviews, the comic franchise has been shifted from Dark Horse back to Marvel ... we say back to because during the original run of movies 4 to 6, the comics were at the house of M (heh)Anyway, what's really important is that in this issue (wow we are reviewing a current comic more or less) it is plainly AWESOME
Yes it is that good that it deserves caps. So let's say it again - AWESOME
Basically as the title indicates this is a series told from Darth's perspectives except that to make his presence more ominous there are no thought balloons. And so when you see him in that face mask coming and no words coming out ... well, it is soooo good as if watching a movie
Now for those wondering how a villain can carry a comic series, well, all we can say is try this. It starts after the end of the Deathstar ship that was destroyed by the rebels. As we all remember, Darth tried and failed to stop it and so for the first time since he became a Darth to his Sith Lord, the Emperor, he has failed. And naturally he must be wondering how the Emperor will take it. If the Emperor treats him like the way he treats others, it will be nasty
While all this is ongoing, and the Emperor is not helping by deliberately (or otherwise) showing his dealings with others of whom Darth has no idea of their true identity or purpose, Darth's head is all a swirl about the young Jedi whom he met as they were under the impression that all Jedi were thought dead and gone with ... at that time ... perhaps a failing Obi-wan scuttling a way. So this became one of the objectives in his planning ... to locate and identify and if need be exterminate
All this on top of his personal quest to track down and eliminate the rebels who brought shame to his door
What an opener of an issue. O yeah for those who like the original stormtroopers and not those from the clone wars era, you get them here
