Vader Down: Part 2 of 6
Darth Vader is under attack after his ship was brought down on the planet Vragos Vos. The rebels, despite the numbers, do not seem to be much of a match for the Sith Lord. Han Solo and Princess Leia disagree about where priorities should be. Leia remembers what happened to her home planet of Alderaan and Han's loyalties are tied to Luke. Luke finds he and R2-D2 have crash landed near an old Jedi temple. Aphra and her droids makes their way to Vragos Vos.
The Star Wars/Darth Vader series continues to wow me. The intertwining stories that are so separate yet woven together is an absolute joy to read. In the Vader Down #1 review, I was hoping there would be interactions with the characters from Darth Vader's comic book series and the characters from the Star Wars books. At the end, we get just that!
***Cue the speculation of Aphra as Rey's mother.***
Okay, put down your light sabers, that's a blog and/or podcast for a different day. We are only in part two of the Vader Down story line and it's been nothing but action and suspense. Many of the comic book events that I read are a lot of build up and then action at the end. Not so with Star Wars. Action, a little more action, comical bantering and then more action. Grab some popcorn but keep your buttery fingers off the pages. You're in for a wild ride!
