About the series
Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca teamed up for this four-issue Marvel series, a tight, early look at Darth Vader's cold fury in the immediate aftermath of the first Death Star's destruction. Rather than a sprawling epic, it's a focused, character-driven story that explores Vader's standing with the Emperor and his ruthless pursuit of the pilot who bested him. It matters as a foundational piece of Marvel's modern Star Wars era, setting a tone of calculated menace for the Dark Lord.
