Comics In Motion

Mike embarks on the first arc in the 2017 Darth Vader series; arguably his favourite Star Wars comic of the new canon! In this story, Vader struggles with his new suit, fights the jedi warrior Kirak as well as the Grand Inquisitor, obtains his new lightsaber, bleeds the kyber crystal and more! Mike also gives information on jedi starfighters, Mas Amedda, Mustafar’s history, holocrons, royal guards and more connective tissue within this comic.

These comics are set just after Revenge Of The Sith, in 19 BBY.

All issues were written by Charles Soule, with Giuseppe Camuncoli as penciller, Cam Smith as inker and David Curiel as colour artist. Issue 1 was released June 2017, issue 6 was released October 2017 and the trade paperback collection was released December 2017 (the digital eBook version was released November 2017).

For the 2015 Vader run (set after A New Hope), check out episodes 15, 17, 19, 23 & 29 of SWCIC, plus ep 41 features the Vader: Dark Visions anthology mini-series and ep 49 is the Target Vader mini-series.

Charles Soule also wrote the following SW mini-series; Rise Of Kylo Ren (in ep 1 of SWCIC), Obi-Wan & Anakin (ep 11) and Lando (ep 18).
