The "Vader Down" crossover may be over, but the links between Jason Aaron's Darth Vader and Kieron Gillen's Darth Vader are continuing. Star Wars #16 kicks off a new story arc called "Rebel Jail," as Leia tries to take advantage of Dr. Aphra's capture and Vader's agents do their best to reclaim her. The result is a tense, enjoyable standoff that feels unlike anything Aaron has crafted on this book so far.
The setting alone is enough to distinguish this book. Both Aaron and Gillen seem to be putting a lot of thought into adding distinctive locales to the Star Wars universe rather than simply dragging the characters back to Tatooine and Hoth over and over. Much of this issue unfolds on an imposing space station orbiting a blazing sun. Star Wars meets Sunshine, basically. This setting really makes the most of the new art team - penciller Leinil Yu, inker Gerry Alanguilan and colorist Sunny Gho. Yu's textured style perfectly captures the harsh, militaristic vibe of the prison, while Gho's colors channel the eerie glow of the sun and give the story an extra bit of tension. There's constantly a sense that the prison is one wrong move from hurtling into a fiery oblivion.
