This marks the end of the run for these Darth Vader comics, but all good things must come to an end…. Uh, I mean Darth Vader isn’t good, of course. Guy’s a Sith Lord after all. But this was a generally good title so I’m sad to see it go. This provides a satisfying end to the plot, and overall it ends up being a solid story of what kind of shenanigans Vader was up to in between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. It also provides some interesting context to his relationship to the Emperor as well...
A more than satisfying ending to a more than good series, but Vader's opponents were just too much lame for me ("Voidgazer"??? Oh good grief...) and I don't liked very much the dream sequence because it reminded me Episode III, a Star Wars movie that is never going to be a fan favourite of mine because of the greatest continuity issue ever (not mentioning Hayden Christensen's awful acting...): In "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi," Luke asks Leia if she remembers her real mother and she replies th...
Fitting ending to the series arc. I especially enjoyed the Anakin-Vader confrontation in Darth’s mind.
This book is totally great.
Fantastic conclusion to Vader's dark adventures! Wasn't too fond of Cylo as an adversary, but the reveal of Executor in space dock and the fastidiously homicidal forays by Triple-0 proved high points to a rock solid conclusion. And the Mustafar vision sequence? Epic.
Not a great fan of the ending, but I did finally find the murder droids somewhat fun. Overall, this was a pretty decent series. Not great, but there were some really, really good moments here and there.
The conclusion to the long and sweeping Star Wars: Darth Vader has arrived with Kieron Gillen's fourth volume, End of Games. Oh, how the mighty Sith have fallen. Vader launched one of the first comic book series in the new Star Wars canon to an incredible start, but it quickly went downhill following the release of subsequent volumes. Despite some entertaining moments and a smooth lead in to Empire Strikes Back, this ended up being a rather sloppy conclusion to a series that had been derailed f...
See my review of the other edition.
I really liked this final volume.This one basically paved the way for ESB, with Vader clearing up all of the remaining villains and sidequests that he made in throughout the series. Again, I really feel like Vader felt more like Darth Vader as this series progressed. He was awesome in here.The final scene with the flashbacks was the best. I adore those moments so much.5/5 stars. Onto the Skywalker Strikes series!
Darth Vader’s final volume! I got this storyarc on its single comic book issues but I chose to make the review using this TPB edition to make a better overall review. The story is set after the events of “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” but before the events of “Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back”. This TPB edition contains from the title of “Star Wars: Darth Vader” #20-25 in its new Marvel Canonic run, including an art gallery featuring all covers (even variants) of the whole title’s run.Creativ
Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca wrap up their disappointingly mediocre Darth Vader run with the instantly forgettable Volume 4: End of Games. Maybe because it’s been ten months since I read the last book or maybe because Gillen’s failed to make it memorable, but I’ve no clue what’s going down in this one. Vader’s hunting down a rival called Cylo - who? Whatever. It’s not in the least bit interesting! Ugh, and the Revenge of the Sith flashbacks? Fuuuuck you, Gillen! I’ve never liked Dr. Aphr...
While this volume wasn't quite up the standard set by the earliest issues of this book (I really didn't like the whole dream-sequence thing and Dr. Voidgazer sounds like a GI Joe villain) this Vader run has easily been the best of Marvel's new Star Wars books. Overall, I enjoyed it a great deal and it will be missed now it's come to an end.There were a couple of loose ends that will still need to be dealt with, though. I wonder where they'll be resolved?P.S. It's really tricky typing while cuppi...
Kieron Gillen ties up all his plot threads going all the way back to the first issue in this volume. The confrontation with Cylo and his minions was terrific. I loved the design of the space whales even if they were stolen from the X-Men. The resolution with Dr. Aphra was fitting.
Vol 4 of Darth Vader brings to a completion of one of the finest Star Wars series out there. While it is a shame that it is ending, at least it goes out with a bang.If you've been keeping up with the events of the Vader series you will truly enjoy this final part. Many of the loose ends are cleared up and there are some great conversations between Vader and the Emperor that shed fascinating light on his motivations for the Sith Order and his apprentice. Well done!There are some great moments of
More God-Level Vader fun. Vader is sent by the emperor to take care of every loose end, that includes the one who built vader himself. So off Vader goes while the other side of the story is hunting down Dr. Aphra by her own evil robots. There's a big battle with Vader and Cylo and it all ends in...well you know it. Vader winning everything. Again, the art is great here and there's some fun moments. Watching Vader tear through people is entertaining because he's a asshole. Also Dr. Aphra story ta...

"I will turn you to ash, you will fly into the sun" in other words Vader is kicking major ass in the final vol.4 from Gillen. I think this was the strongest series to come out of the new marvel star stuff, Jason Aaron's main star wars series is a strong second. Vader has reached the end of his journey and the showdown between him and Cylo is here. Cylo designed the suit vader wears and thinks he has the advantage going into the epic battle but we all know vader survives, still the battle with th...
Great conclusion! Also I love Aphra she is everything
"Book IV, Part VIEND OF GAMESIt is time of rebuilding for the Empire. After the destruction of the Death Star, Darth Vader is atoning for his failure by destroying all who would oppose the Empire.The droids Triple-Zero and Beetee have been sent to capture Vader's secret ally, Dr. Aphra-but taking advantage of their programming, she changes their directive. Choosing not to make her escape, Aphra goes to comfort Emperor Palpatine.Meanwhile, Vader tracks down the traitorous scientist Cylo to end
This series is really getting good. Most excellent. Top notch art and story. Vader is such a complicated character. Clearly not good, but always trying to find a way around the Emperor, yet still serve the Emperor. Very complex stories. Several newer characters that have not appeared in any of the Star War movies, yet play important roles in these collections.I have zipped thru the 4 volumes of the 2015-2016 Darth Vader collections. Really enjoyed them all. I have already read Vols I and II of t...
