Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 17: Vader Steals From The Empire (Darth Vader #7-12)

This week Mike talks about the second volume of the Darth Vader series, named “Shadows And Secrets”, featuring Vader plotting against his own Empire while Thanoth the investigator follows all while intertwined with rogue archaeologist Doctor Aphra and the homicidal droids BT-1 & Triple-Zero!

If you haven’t already, we recommend listening to ep 15 of SWCIC to hear about volume 1 of Darth Vader, plus it’s worth listening to episodes 9 & 13 to hear what Luke & the others are doing at the same time, as Mike will be tackling the Vader Down Star Wars/Vader crossover comic soon too!

The second volume of Darth Vader was written by Kieron Gillen, the artist is Salvador Larroca and the colourist is Edgar Delgado. Issue #7 was released July 2015, issue #12 was November 2015 and the trade paperback collection was released January 2016.

Last week Mike spoke about the Mace Windu comic, the week before was the first volume of Darth Vader comics, before that was the Princess Leia mini series, and shortly before that was the main run of Star Wars comics. Previous episodes have been about the Jedi Fallen Order Comic, how Obi-Wan & Anakin almost left the Jedi order, the Rogue One & Solo comics, Captain Phasma, Operation Cinder, how C-3PO got his red arm, Darth Maul beyond The Phantom Menace, Kylo Ren’s red lightsaber crystal and more!
