Star Wars: Darth Vader

Kieron Gillen and artists Mark Brooks and Salvador Larroca launched this 2016 Marvel series, a brief but intense two-issue arc set in the immediate aftermath of The Force Awakens. It captures Darth Vader in a moment of raw, personal fury, hunting for answers about the pilot who destroyed the Death Star—a search that will lead him directly to his son. This short run serves as a direct, visceral bridge between the classic and sequel trilogies, showing the Dark Lord at his most driven and dangerous.
