It's hard to know exactly how to feel about Marvel's new Darth Vader comic. On one hand, we're less than a year removed from the conclusion of Marvel's previous Darth Vader comic. Surely there are other characters who deserve their time in the spotlight? On the other, this is one of the greatest villains in pop culture history we're talking about. Why not return to the Vader well, especially with so much of the character's back-story left untold in Disney's new Star Wars timeline? There are arguments to be made either way. The core flaw with the new Darth Vader comic is that it doesn't make a strong enough case for itself out of the gate.
Where the previous Darth Vader series explored Vader's struggle to consolidate power and redeem himself in the Emperor's eyes following the events of Episode IV, the new series unfolds in the immediate aftermath of Episode III. This is a Vader first coming to grips with the death of his wife and his own fall from grace. That alone is enough to distinguish the new series from the old. But writer Charles Soule and artist Giuseppe Camuncoli don't do enough to tap into that potential right out of the gate.
