Some great scenes and lines make this book a fun read, but it feels too rushed to get to the next scene. Gillen needs more time to create the tension needed to make Vader a compelling character. Vader's effectiveness as a villain in the movies comes from the ominous presence created by the cinematography and the time he takes over every action. The comic manages to recreate this feeling of threat, but not consistently.

Still, this is an enjoyable book full of despicable characters.
