"It was amazing." - 5 out of 5 star rating.
For a comic book, these 2013 Star Wars comics from Wood continue to be absolutely stellar. I am not joking when I say TV/film quality material.
While this comic book series could have easily ended on issue #12 and be classified as masterpiece status, they've decided to pause all of the minor story arcs and narrow focus solely down to Lord Vader's path within this particular series.
This is truly stellar Vader content. The newly introduced Imperial Officer assigned as her personal assistant, along with his pocket squad of a Stormtrooper Special Forces, a mission off the books and without the explicit approval of the Emperor - aka Vader being exercising personal ambition... is what being a Sith is all about.
Diehard Vader fans should at an absolute minimum jump and read issues #13 and #14 of this series.
True Star Wars fans who enjoy comics - this entire series is a must read.
I am super excited for #14!
This is a comic book series I don't want to end. I am intentionally forcing myself to only read one (1) issue a day to really savor this one.

Part 1 of a 2 part series (within the larger 20 issue arc) that takes a new spin on things with first person narration of an ensign charged to Vader's command. The way Wood captured the tension and kept the story moving with the urgency I expected from Vader's wrath was very well done. Loved this mini series within the series!

I loved the different perspective--from one of Darth Vader's underlings! I'm excited for the next one

Love this look at Darth Vader's world through eye's of an innocent.
