Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017)


Star Wars: Darth Vader, alternatively titled Star Wars: Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith, is a canonical comic book series written by Charles Soule, with art from Giuseppe Camuncoli, that was published by Marvel Comics on June 7, 2017 as a second volume of the 2015 series of the same name. On December 18, 2018, the series ended with its 25th issue.

Beginning during the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith directly after Darth Vader discovers that his wife, Padmé Amidala, has died, the series chronicles Vader going on various missions across the galaxy, all the while hunting the few surviving Jedi alongside his band of dark side apprentices known as the Inquisitorius.

The series, along with the original 2015 comic line, eventually received a relaunch in the form of the 2020 Darth Vader comic series, which focuses on Vader's adventures in between the events of Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
