Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Lord Of The Sith Vol. 2 - Legacy's End

Charles Soule's take on the early days of Darth Vader continues to be an absolute delight to read. While I love the series by Kieron Gillen, Soule's look at the Dark Lord's early days is fascinating especially in terms of Vader trying to find his place among the Imperial machine. The second volume follows on Vader's search to find Jocasta Nu: the elderly archivist of the Jedi Temple (a character briefly featured in Episode Two). While Vader is itching to track down other targets such as Obi Wan, the Emperor wants to force Nu into giving up the deepest secrets of the Jedi Archives. Meanwhile, Vader continues to train the Inquisitors while forming a fun back and forth with the Grand Inquisitor of Star Wars Rebel fame. The book is an absolute blast to read thanks to some stunning sequences (such as the beautiful scenes of Vader's inner meditations with his inner light side still battling to come out) and some great character moments (such as Vader announcing himself in dramatic fashion to the Imperial Grand Moffs).

I really enjoyed the first TP of this series, and was a little worried if the creative team could sustain that level of quality. They did not. They surpassed it. This series has really hit a good stride here, It's really hard to put down if you are a Star Wars fan. The only two minor gripes I had with the first volume seem to have been resolved, so this was a near perfect outing as far as I am concerned. I don't want to give anything away here regarding the plot, but I gotta say it is great to see Vader interacting with soldiers and officers who do not yet know who he is, or his capabilities. And like the first volume, Soule really does a good job developing his Jedi character(s), and well, everyone else actually. Story moves at a frantic pace once it starts rolling and doesn't really let up. The art, particularly the depictions of combat and action are top notch. Truly fantastic work. Bravo marvel, bravo.

5/5 no notes. The dark and gritty look into Vader we all deserve
