Star Wars: Darth Vader By Greg Pak Vol. 3: War of the Bounty Hunters

A great book. Since surviving his masters trial Darth Vader is even more galvanised to what he wants. More powerful then ever, he is in for the long game, but he has not forgotten about Luke.This book takes place during the War of Bounty Hunters. There are a lot of games and strings being pulled. Yes Vader is a kick the front door open and kill everyone but he knows about strategy. Though he is there to make people fear him. A few people might need a reminder.I really enjoyed the study used in Star Wars Volume one. There Luke keeps looking back at his fight with Vader. This time it us Vader reminiscing about his past and making promises.Thus book has a lot of intrigued and lots of action. A great reminder that Vader is the man. I can't wait for volume three. I look forward to seeing who else need a personal reminder from him.

Great Book set after the events of Empire Strikes Back, As the Empire and all teams fight to gain the frozen body of Han Solo.Great Book, A must read for all Star Wars Fans.

“Star Wars Darth Vader – War of the Bounty Hunters” collects issues #12-17 of this post-“Empire Strikes Back” series.This is another excellently-written and illustrated episode of Vader’s latest misadventure – I can’t remember what happened in the previous volume, but Vader is being reconstructed again, with the Emperor standing around and mocking him, and anyone else that comes within earshot.There is a rather disjointed story running through this volume, and I’m not sure if there is flashbacking going on – it is that disorienting, but that could be part of the ‘design’, as the Emperor is trying to re-educate Vader (again).The two previous and recent Marvel series’ featuring Vader set him up as a three-dimensional character, unlike the rather two-dimensional one from the films, and from the beginning, you could see the path that he was set on being laid out in front of him, and here, if you remember those stories, you can see just how being silent at the appropriate times can lead people to make the wrong assumption, or the one that they want to hear, while Vader continues as his own man…Now, the writer is obviously trying to get us to think that Vader might be starting to crack, but we’ve all seen “Return of the Jedi”…Aside from all that, there is plenty of plot(ting) and action going on, much of it involving “Skywalker” and a frozen Han Solo, Bounty Hunters, and the crimson Dawn, whoever they are.The quality of storytelling, and that path first chosen, is maintained, though I’ve no idea how this fits into the “War of the Bounty Hunters”.
