This series has been consistently enjoyable. Though I fear it is my love for the character the makes it so.
Though the weaving of the plot is admirable.
This volume continues the ever loveable Sith Lords run.

There is this great dynamic in this book where you see how evil makes decisions. Also, these guys who hope to usurp Vader. Great stuff.

Ok, clearly, this is not a trilogy as expected (I presumed while there are more volumes about Vader, the main story arc would be concluded after this volume).
The issues collected here tell the story of Vader having to put down rebellious barons that usually mine rare and important ores for the Empire. There is a lot of back-stabbing, and not only at court but all around Vader. The story felt a bit disjointed as Aphra was suddenly missing and the droids (Beetee and Triple-Zero) were with Vader. At least there was progress with the story of Cylo's creations though and we got hints at the entire plot regarding Cylo and his creations having been a ploy by Emperor Palpatine (though there is no conclusion yet).
The art remains impeccable throughout all the volumes which makes me hope this artist will stick around.
This third volume distinguished itself not through story or awesome feats by Vader, but through the humour. Observe:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I just love those droids (although there seem to be the seeds of rebellion in them as well, as we can observe late in this volume) and almost couldn't stop laughing!

3.5 stars. The war got a little muddied at times with who was on who's side which war a but confusing. An OK arc, but nothing special. With reading if you're following the series, but not a recommended buy.

Star Wars has always been on the thin border between scifi and fantasy, but the setting of Shu-torun and the general story here has this feeling a lot more fantasy than scifi - it focuses on a unique society and spends some time building that world, and the narrative itself plays out like a typical political fantasy narrative: think of this as Star Wars by way of Mistborn and Game of Thrones. The art is solid, the action sequences enticing, but most importantly it maintains Vader as a menacing figure while keeping the old school serialized feel of Star Wars intact. While this was the weakest volume in the series so far, the whole series is a good read.

A bit slower and not as well-paced as the first two, but Triple0 still made me laugh quite a bit.

A strong return to form after the slightly wobbly "Vader Down". Vader's ongoing campaign against enemies both within and outside the Empire makes for fun reading.

I found this Vader book to be a bit better than the previous volumes. Vader is no longer focused on finding Luke and becomes a real villain in these issues. If you enjoyed seeing him in the ending of Rogue One, you'll enjoy reading this volume.

This was not my favorite Vader volume, nor my favorite Star Wars graphic novel. I felt Vader wasn't too terribly well represented in this one, the story was boring, and I'm getting tired of the two knuckle-head droids. it did have somw redeeming qualities though.

I like the small moments where you can see Anakin shine through Vader. That's all I have to say really. I did enjoy this comic though. Very fun.
