Star Wars: Darth Vader, Volume 3: The Shu-Torun War
by Kieron Gillen
Another good, but not great, Star wars book.
The funny thing about these Marvel star wars books is that they are all solid but not great. Why? They are considered canon now and can not do anything drastic to change events of the movies. So in doing so we have Vader go to war. However, Vader is in episode 5 and 6. So you know nothing will happen to him. So the all mighty Vader decides to face off against a whole planet on top of the twins who have betrayed him.
Overall, the visuals are a treat and there's some great dialogue and funny moments but the tension is completely gone. Vader is God-Like here, and his powers are too freaking off the walls. He can do things he never showed in the movies. On top of that the stories move so quick because there's no "Well what will happen" because we've all seen episode 5.
Still, entertaining as it was, I wish these stories wouldn't have to be stuck inbetween movies though. Overall solid even with the setbacks. A 3 out of 5.
