I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Star Wars Darth Vader Vol 1: Vader by Kieron Gillen (Writer), Salvador Larrrocoa (Artist), Edgar Delagado (Colorist), VC"s Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


It was a time of great insurrection and the rebels were based out of a hidden moon of Yavin.  They had discovered a secret way to destroy the Death Star.  In a great battle, they take down the Death Star and strike a great blow against the Empire.  It's been nineteen years since Darth Vader was reborn on Mustafar and now Vader is in trouble with the Emperor for failing him.

The Emperor sends Vader back to Jabba the Hutt to continue his business with him, but Vader has already completed his business with him and instead goes back to meet with two bounty hunters with whom he wants to find a boy on the Millennium Falcon because he believes that Obi-Wan gave him his old lightsaber. But before he leaves he notices a man whom he believes that the Emperor is having to follow him because he no longer believes he can do good work. 

Vader comes across Dr. Apha's droids and destroys them and decides to go in search of her in order to have her help him create a droid army as he is looking for who is after him.  They come across creatures who are not Jedi and are not Sith but are being run by the guy who was following him when he was reporting to the Emperor.  Vader sees them as an abomination that must be destroyed and sets out to do just that.

What does all of this mean?  And what does he find out about the mysterious boy who blew up the Death Star and has his lightsaber?  This was a really good comic that delves into Vader's life and makes him sympathetic.  I really did enjoy this book and give it four out of five stars.
