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

Darth Vader Vol 2: Shadows and Secrets by Kieron Gillen (Writer), Salvador Larroca (Artist), Edgar Delgado (Colorist), VC's Joe Caramagna (Letterer)


Vader has taken it upon himself to capture the person who blew up the Death Star since he now knows that that person is his son. It doesn't matter that someone else has been assigned to the task. He and Dr. Alpha decimate Luke's old home once they're done investigating it. Now Alpha has a new plan that involves four bounty hunters and some Empire loot.

The money comes from a Rodisian who ran illegal activities in the Outer Rim without paying the Empire it's share or asking permission.  He had quite a lot of money saved up, but Alpha doesn't plan on stealing all of it.  Alpha has come up with a brilliant plan on stealing some of it.  And Alpha is working with Vader who wanted these bounty hunters beholden to them for some reason.

But now the Empire has sent a regular Sherlock Holmes to solve the case and worse--he's honest and true to the Empire so Vader must be very careful that de doesn't find out his involvement in this scheme.

This was quite a good comic. I really like the investigator. He was delightful and you fully expect a denouement at the end of the book, which is so much fun but would be bad for Vader. I really like Doctor Alpha. She's good to the droids who so many people overlook or treat poorly.  This was the second comic in the series and this series is looking great.  I give this book five out of five stars.
