What's cool isn't just that Soule is able to give an expansive EU feel to the conclusion of his series, but that's he's also able to definitively end it. When we leave Vader by the end of this book, his descent into both despair and rebirth in the dark side is so dramatic that you understand how completely Anakin Skywalker has been broken and lost.
It could be fun but it’s Marvel
The art is mostly nice with some really epic panels and interesting locations, though in some places it looks weird, especially the lightsaber trails in the air, and some fights are hard to follow.
The concept of Vader’s first mission is cool and there’s a nice scene where he makes a red lightsaber, but it’s over very quickly and characters talk too much—telling the reader some information, telling each other very obvious things or their motivation or what they think—, especially during fights.
Another bland project from Marvel.
