Darth Vader #12
- Title: Darth Vader #8
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Charles Soule
- Artist: Giuseppe Camuncoli
Returning from a missing to kill a Jedi where the Dark Lord of the Sith was ambushed by mercenaries, another attempt is made on Darth Vader‘s life when someone blocks his ship’s communications and causes the Coruscant defense to shoot down Vader and Ninth Sister. Someone obviously very high up in the Empire wants Vader dead.
Although we don’t get names for the collaborators, they are certainly not Rebels. It seems there’s a faction in the Imperial aristocracy that has taken issue with the Emperor bestowing such trust and power to a complete unknown.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – All the Comforts of Home
- Title: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – Together or Not at All
- wiki: link
Despite having made it back to the present Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team appear to be still stuck in the inevitable timeloop of the Earth’s destruction and surrender to the Kree Empire. Aside from the authorities, there’s also a death squad after the remaining agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. inexplicably led by General Hale‘s (Catherine Dent) bitchy teenage daughter Ruby (Dove Cameron). The final scene’s reveal of the fact is surprising, but more from a WTF is going on perspective than any kind of clever reveal through good writing.

Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39
- Title: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Robert Venditti
- Artist: Rafa Sandoval
A severely-injured Kyle, only held together by the power in Hal Jordan‘s ring, has made it back to Oa with news of Hal’s capture by Zod. While the Guardians hesitate to come to any rash response, Guy Gardner forms his own team and sets out with the cavalry to the planet Jekuul to lay some GL smack down on Zod and his family.
While we don’t get much of Hal this issue, other than Zod threatening him, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #39 does continue to focus on his ring. Forged from his own will, the ring not only is strong enough to keep Kyle alive, conscious, and ready for action, but it also adds some of Hal’s cockiness and personality quirks to Earth shittiest Green Lantern. (Sadly, these don’t make Kyle that much more tolerable).
