Darth Vader #1

Marvel's 2017 Star Wars: Darth Vader series opens with a cover that commands attention — Darth Vader crouches in a deep crimson void, his ignited red lightsaber cutting a blazing diagonal across the frame while his helmet's lenses glow with menacing intensity. Jim Cheung's cover pencils and inks bring a brooding, almost meditative quality to the galaxy's most feared Sith Lord, the billowing black cape and stark red palette making the image feel genuinely ominous. With Charles Soule writing and "The Chosen One Part I" as the story title, this oversized first issue is a compelling starting point for anyone drawn to Vader at his darkest.
