Review by Darth Kondorr, Poland, 2017:

"Vader continues to be the one true achievement for Marvel's Star Wars comic books. While Aaron's “Star Wars” book is great, it is also completely mad with big events and way to bloated. Vader manages to be more sublime. We still get epic moments and interesting twists, but all is more down to “earth” in Star Wars terms. I could imagine the Vader book to function alongside the movies, or animated shows. Aaron's Star Wars comic on the other hand, I doubt either Lucas himself or his padawan Filoni would actually consider adapting (at least not without major rewrites). Gillen's Vader is a careful extension of what we know from the movies and shows, while Aaron's book seems to me like if someone gave Robert Rodriguez to much freedom. Both are worth your time and money, but hands down Vader takes the top spot!"

Rating: 5 / 5
