Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Lord of the Sith #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLaunching from the final moments of Revenge of the Sith, this Marvel series follows Anakin Skywalker's brutal transformation into Darth Vader in the immediate aftermath of Order 66. Newly encased in his black armor and still raw from the losses on Mustafar, Vader must prove his loyalty to Emperor Palpatine and carve out his place in the emerging Empire — by any means necessary. Writer Charles Soule and artist Giuseppe Camuncoli craft an unflinching portrait of a broken man reforging himself into one of the galaxy's most feared weapons.
Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith #1 kicks off with a chilling mission—after claiming a Jedi’s lightsaber, Vader journeys to the volcanic world of Mustafar, where he’s ordered by Emperor Palpatine to twist the kyber crystal at its heart. Written by Charles Soule and brought to life by Giuseppe Camuncoli’s stark, atmospheric art, this first chapter of "The Chosen One Part I" dives into Vader’s descent, where darkness is not just a choice but a transformation. The cover by Jim Cheung captures the weight of that moment in shadow and flame.
Darth Vader, cloaked in shadow and driven by his relentless pursuit, steps into a Jedi way station now repurposed under Imperial rule—its halls echoing with the ghosts of a fallen order. As he searches for the last trace of a Jedi’s presence, the weight of the past presses close, and the silence of the ruins holds secrets he is not prepared to face.
Darth Vader, still reeling from his recent victory over a Jedi, carries the stolen lightsaber to Mustafar—where the Emperor’s dark design demands he twist the kyber crystal’s essence to match his own. As fire and ash rise around him, Vader begins the ritual, but the planet itself seems to whisper secrets only the fallen Sith can hear.
