Better than you'd expect from a "Vader" series that's twice as long as any other one at Marvel.

Gillen!  Noda!  Hickman!  Spurrier!  Aka!  King!  Kui!  Cantwell!  AND MORE!

A series that asks questions about the price of knowledge and finds some interesting answers.   Want more reviews, check out:  https://comicpicksbytheglick.com

Soule gets his shot at the brass ring of "Star Wars" comics and gives Lando the story he's been waiting for.

Worth reading for the art alone.  As for the story...

New volume!  New artist!  Same great momentum, or has the shine already come off?

F*** Crossjack.  Maybe not this series, though.

It's a genuine piece of superhero comics history that I wish was better than it turned out being.
