comic doesn't quite measure up to the first so far, but at least the series isn't guilty of recycling the same approach. This is a very different sort of Darth Vader story set in a very different time in the Sith Lord's life. As such, this book has a critical part to play in Marvel's rapidly expanding Star Wars library, even if it doesn't seem in any great hurry to accomplish its goals.
This is one of those cases where the first two issues of a new series really should have been combined into one. Vader now has his first mission - to construct a new lightsaber worthy of a Sith - and by the end of this issue he has a target. But did it need to take that long to get the story to that point. The ponderous pacing isn't helping this new series start off on the right footing ,especially since there;s only so much writer Charles Soule can do to get into Vader's head without resorting to an internal monologue (which wouldn't suit this character one bit). Soule does try to provide a foil to Vader in the form of a helpful new droid assistant, but the droid lacks the colorful personality that made Beetee and Triple Zero such fantastic additions to the cast in the previous volume.
