Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command #5

The concluding chapter of this 2011 Dark Horse miniseries arrives with a cover that says everything about Darth Vader's unwavering menace — rendered by Tsuneo Sanda, the Dark Lord stands arms outstretched amid a storm of shattered crystal and debris, a blazing corona of light burning behind his helmet in what feels like pure, contained fury. The tagline "Vader will NOT be challenged!" leaves little ambiguity about where things are headed as Haden Blackman and Rick Leonardi bring their story to a close. It's a striking, atmospheric final issue for fans of the Sith Lord at his most imposing.
