Darth Vader #23After making his away aboard the stolen Executor, Darth Vader sabotages the heisted Star Destroyer before making his way to his confrontation with Morit outside the hull of the Executor. After dispatching his foe by Force-flicking Morit into the nearby son, Vader can continue his climb through ship to find his true prey, Cylo. However, the master of cybernetics does have one last trick up his sleeve.

Despite his small victories over the course of the last two issues accomplishing the impossible without breaking a sweat, Vader does stand defeated as the comic comes to a close.

Star Wars #21

/ / Comics

Moving away from the adventures of the core characters from the original Star Wars trilogy, the latest issue focuses instead on Sgt. Kreel and his new squad of elite Stormtroopers tasked with finding and eliminating Rebel insurgents throughout the Empire.

The latest issue is more a military comic with the squad learning to trust their new commander while performing their orders from the Emperor. While Stormtroopers have gotten a bad name (given their inability to hit anything resembling a target), writer Jason Aaron and artist Jorge Molina show that this is a different breed of soldier than those other walking targets seemingly trained solely to be shot down by the Rebellion.
