Excited to report that STAR WARS: DARTH VADER #6 hits comic book shops and comiXology on Wednesday, October 14! The book’s written by yours truly with interior line art by Raffaele Ienco, colors by Neeraj Menon, letters by Joe Caramagna, cover by InHyuk Lee, and editing by Mark Paniccia and Tom Groneman.
Here’s the official solicit:
“THE PUNISHMENT! DARTH VADER failed to turn his son, Luke Skywalker, to the dark side of the Force. No…Luke was too weak to join his father in overthrowing EMPEROR PALPATINE. Vader sought revenge against those who hid Luke from him for all of these years…and in doing so nearly betrayed his master. It did not go unnoticed by Palpatine… time for Vader’s next lesson.”
Check out a lettered preview here, and please do ask your local comic shop to hold a copy for you! Or buy it digitally at comiXology!
