STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #1

(W) Kieron Gillen (A) Salvador Larroca (CA) Adi Granov

The original Dark Lord of the Sith stars in his first ongoing series!

Ever since Darth Vader made his first on-screen appearance, he became the one of the most popular villains to ever haunt an audience's dreams! Now, follow Vader straight from the ending of A NEW HOPE (and the pages of the new STAR WARS comic book) into his own series, showing the Empire's war with the Rebel Alliance from the other side! Writer Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Journey Into Mystery, Iron Man) and artist Salvador Larroca (Invincible Iron Man, X-Men: No More Humans) bring us a peek behind the mask of evil!

I'm so ready for this issue now.

This will be better then the Star Wars book.

Here's the interview we did with Kieron last year when the book was first announced.

I need that Alex Ross cover in my life!

was hoping for an earlier tale with him hunting jedi . but i cant hate vader . i'll pick this up

I'm so pumped for this. I really enjoyed the first two issues of Aaron's Star Wars series but Darth Vader is the series I was most excited for out of the initial lineup. Although, Leia's mini and the Kanan series both sound interesting. Basically, Marvel has me very excited about all Star Wars comics right now.

It would be nice to see another Purge comic. Someday maybe

Must buy paperback!

"I have only killed 2. Do not make me reconsidered my generosity".

I can't wait, love me some Vader.

i wish I could buy all those variants>

I already know the Alex Ross one will go for big money because it's Alex Ross.

but i will be picking up the Action figure variant as well as the Scottie young variant

I'm looking forward to reading this, the classic Vader speech is pointing to this being a cool series.

"Do not make me reconsider my generosity."

$5 for a comic this better be the first issue and not every issue
Im sick of this inflation on comics

That art!

@comicvine_is_jericho529: I think issues 1 and 2 are oversized so they're expensive but you get more pages anyway.

Love this. Best villain of all time.

Not sure how I feel about this. I mean, I love Vader, but I find the gimmick of filling in the blanks in-between episodes is starting to wear me down.

This might end up being one of the better takes we got on Vader but to me, this has been overdone. I personally don't think I cant get near any star wars merchandise 'til the next movie is released to see what it does to the expended universe.

Just me, though. And if I'm wrong, then I can pick up the series next year haha. More to read in a go. It's just not for me at the moment.

Is that a Skottie Young cover? Or do I just love to drool over variants?

Wow this looks awesome. Really liking the art too!

The cover where Anakin is trapped in the Vader mask...I must have it.

Man that cover with Anakin is amazing

Can't wait for this. Vader is so badass.

so BA music plays when he enters the room.... variant covers are incredible

My body is ready

I want everyone of those covers.

So excited for this!!

looks great! I love the detail on all the background characters already. Feels just like the movies when you see some of the background characters and wonder why they are there and what they are doing.

Aw, man. I should have known things were going to turn out like this. I figured I'd give Star Wars a shot, and I did, and I liked it, but now with Princess Leia coming out with hers and now this...

They aren't pulling any punches in getting us to fall in love with this franchise. (:/)
