Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command #1

Darth Vader strides forward on Tsuneo Sanda's striking cover, red lightsaber blazing and fist raised, with ranks of clone troopers massed behind him against a smoky, fire-lit backdrop — an image that sets a forceful tone for this opening chapter. Dark Horse launches writer Haden Blackman and artist Rick Leonardi on a new Vader-centered story in 2011, promising the Dark Lord front and center in a military command role. If you've ever wanted to see Vader leading an army rather than lurking in the shadows, this first issue looks like a compelling place to start.
