Star Wars: Darth Vader #41

Part of Marvel's 2024 Dark Droids crossover, this issue carries the evocative title "More Machine Than Man" — a phrase that takes on haunting new resonance when Darth Vader is at the center of the story. Leinil Francis Yu's cover art is striking: Vader looms large, crimson lightsaber raised, while an overwhelming tide of small droid components — scattered disc-like droids — surges around and beneath him like a mechanical flood. It's a visually arresting image that sets the stage for Greg Pak's script, brought to life on the interior pages by artist Raffaele Ienco and colorist Federico Blee's rich, atmospheric palette.
