What They’re Saying:
- Author Jason Aaron said: "‘All I am surrounded by is fear. And dead men.’ That moment from Vader Down is still one of my favorite things I've written during my time at Marvel. I loved getting to let Darth Vader cut loose with all his power in such an epic way. And I couldn't pass up the chance to revel in the dark side again and put Vader in an even more perilous situation… and then see how he carves his way out.”
- Editor Mark Paniccia said: “This is a project we’ve been waiting to do for a while and we’ve got more amazing talent lined up that I can’t wait to announce. It’s such a thrill to use this unique storytelling approach on one of the greatest villains in the galaxy.”
