Star Wars: Darth Vader Vol. 2: Shadows and Secrets

Dimitris Papastergiou

What the stars are saying. It was ok. Was expecting more. You can't expect me to like a Darth Vader title after all this time, also being back to Marvel with the whole franchise, and to barely have any Vader in it, all the while I'm forced to read about this con-artist kinda girl who's boring as hell and has nothing interesting to tell me.

Anyway, since I've already started the next "chapter" in all of this, and also the Vader Down arc, I'll say this, read it just for the heck of it, because what comes next is just solid storytelling and one very interesting at that. 

To show an example of how good the next arc is: I was tired as hell after work wanting to sleep, so being sleepy, I said let's read some Vader because it's not that good, I don't like it that much, so even if I fall asleep and don't pay much attention I'm good.. overall the series is mediocre at best, with artwork pulling it to the good side. (I love Aaron btw) so I started reading the next issue, and I . Was. Hooked. 

Then I read the Vader Down one-shot, and then it all went downhill from there, I seriously woke up and read a bunch of issues, caught up on Star Wars ongoing title too because of it (tie-in all together).

At the end of the day, I hope it's just me, because that Aphra character is really.... nope. Not doing it for me. Boring and one-sided. Hope it gets better or she gets killed or something. I wanna read about Vader, not some girl's adventures on having to do undercover missions FOR Vader.

Right about now I'd say something like "I hope next volume gets better" but I'm already reading wht's next and it DOES get better, I don't even pay attention to Aphra because everything else is so damn good and just a real page-turner.

May the force be with you (No, not you Aphra).
