Review:
First of all, I was never one to jump aboard the Star Wars wagon so I only know what I've heard other's say about it and of course the infamous Family Guy interpretation. Long story short, I only know the just and the basic concept of the story.
Oddly enough the first thought that came to my mind when I opened this comic was just that the graphics were absolutely awesome and matched up perfectly with the theme of the story. We are taught as humans to, without a shadow of a doubt, hate the villains of any story so for an author to have me seriously rooting for a villain, Darth freaking Vader to be exact, is just mind blowing all by itself and it really speaks on the capability of Kieron Gillen as an author to deliver a story.
The only thing that I can think of that really bothered me in this volume was how repetitive the mini prefaces or summaries at the beginning of each individual comic were. It was almost like copying and pasting the exact same thing over and over, just adding an extra sentence or two at the end and I find repetitiveness very irritating which is why I only gave this 4 stars instead of 5.
On my recommendation scale I absolutely recommend this to everyone 😁 because this was a really nice read to see things from a villain's point of view. It definitely leveled the playing field of good and bad motives.
