Fallout - The End

Adapted from the post-apocalyptic video game series, the opening episode of Fallout gives us the end of the world and then what comes next.

Darth Vader #45

Having decided to join the Imperial Schism, a faction in favor of replacing Emperor Palpatine for the good of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader finds himself on Tython looking raid a former Jedi Temple of precious Kyberite. The issue has two main pieces that make it an interesting read, and for those who haven’t been following this Schism storyline (like me) there’s still plenty to enjoy. First we get the loyal Enric Pryde and his discussions with others in the party who lack his steadfast loyalty to the Dark Lord of Sith with their own, less glorious, examples of Vader’s actions.
