Well I definitely didn’t see a lightsaber shotgun coming, that’s for sure.

Jocasta reciting the Whills mantra though.

To say I'm enthralled by Vader comics would be putting it lightly. This issue had some amazing combat featuring our favorite Librarian Jocastu Nu. She puts up a pretty good fight for an old gal. It also delves deeper into the power struggle between Vader and the Grand Inquisitor. An interesting relationship to be sure. It's a good thing these don't count towards my book goal because they are way too easy to consume.

It really is thrilling seeing Vader try to keep his identity a secret as he tries to silence the Jedi. I also couldn't help but think how hard it will be for Luke to do research on the Jedi after all this.

final panel goes hard - Jocasta kinda a legend

[Romà Giménez Jori · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ya he dicho en anteriores comentarios que esta serie es puro disfrute, pero es que el arco argumental de Jocasta Nu no tiene desperdicio, y es una muy buena explicación de cómo se afianzan las dictaduras. ¿Puede un jedi dejar de hacer cosas de jedi? ¿Cómo quedó el templo tras la ejecución de la Orden 66? Y, ¿Qué se hace con el legado de la Orden? Otro fantástico número que responde muchas preguntas.

I love this Jocasta Nu, Grand Inquisitor, Lord Vader love triangle that is going on! Such a fun comic.

The added depth for each of these characters is exactly what I crave as well in this phase of my Star Wars fandom.

This has been one of the longer mini-arcs within a comic book series I can ever remember, and what is amazing about it is that it does not feel dragged out/slog-effect at all whatsoever.

This is indeed impressive, most impressive.

Not quite as good as the previous comics in this series but still a great read and with an unexpected ending. I found it a bit odd that the art seems to have taken as step down in quality though, I've enjoyed the illustrations of the previous comics but in this issue it all seemed a bit rushed!

This series is doing some amazing stuff. Despite being the titular character, Vader not overused. You learn a ton more about the Grand Inquisitor and this maybe be some of the best art in a single issue of Star Wars comics ever.
