Star Wars Darth Vader Vol. 1, Issue 9A (Marvel, 2015) is a pivotal entry in the Darth Vader saga. Written by Kieron Gillen, with art and a standout cover by Salvador Larroca, this 36-page, full-color comic dives into a mission for the Empire that clashes with Vader’s own agenda. In this story, Vader is tasked with an objective that directly undermines his personal aims, forcing him to navigate a dangerous tug-of-war between service to the Emperor and the pull of his own code.
