About the series
In the wake of Revenge of the Sith, Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli’s Darth Vader (2017–2019) charts the Dark Lord’s early, ruthless consolidation of power under Emperor Palpatine. This 25-issue Marvel series explores Vader’s cold, methodical hunt for the last remnants of the Jedi—and his own lingering humanity—as he clashes with figures like Grand Moff Tarkin and the Mon Calamari commander Gial Ackbar. Anchored by Soule’s taut scripting and Camuncoli’s dynamic, shadow-drenched art, it deepens the tragic engine of the Star Wars saga without ever softening the monster at its heart. A definitive bridge between trilogies, it remains a key chapter in the modern Star Wars comic canon.
