About this Collection

This 2016 Marvel collection brings together the full 'Vader Down' crossover event, which pits Darth Vader against a squad of Rebel soldiers on a desolate planet after he crash-lands. Written by Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen, with art by Mike Deodato Jr. and Salvador Larroca, the story weaves between the main Star Wars and Darth Vader series, delivering a focused, action-packed confrontation that tests Vader's ruthless efficiency.

"Vader Down [Part I]" kicks off a high-stakes Star Wars adventure as Darth Vader, following a lead from Doctor Aphra, descends on the planet Vrogas Vas—only to be ambushed by Rebel X-wing fighters led by Luke Skywalker. In the fiery aftermath, the two clash in a brutal duel that ends with both crash-landing on opposite sides of the planet, drawing the attention of Princess Leia, Han Solo, and the rest of Luke’s closest allies. Written by Jason Aaron and Kieron Gillen, with bold artwork by Mike Deodato and vibrant colors by Frank Martin Jr., this issue sets the stage for a tense, planet-spanning hunt, all capped by Mark Brooks’ striking cover.
