Feel the power of the dark side in this brand-new compact edition!

Fresh from defeat at the hands of the Rebel Alliance, Darth Vader must rise again to reassert the Empire’s iron grip on the galaxy. But his failure leaves him out of favor with the Emperor, facing an uncertain future. And his own personal desire to find the Force-strong young pilot who destroyed the Death Star may conflict with his duty. As his fateful quest begins, can the Dark Lord of the Sith pursue his own agenda and secure his seat of power in the face of all new threats to his position? Perhaps with the aid of a few rogues from a galaxy of scum and villainy — from familiar faces like Jabba the Hutt, Boba Fett and Bossk to diabolical debutants Doctor Aphra and the killer droids 0-0-0 and BT-1. Filled with fear, anger, hate and suffering, this is the dark side of Star Wars as you’ve never seen it before!

An award-winning critic and journalist, Kieron Gillen turned his attention to comics on titles including the critically lauded Phonogram with frequent creative partner Jamie McKelvie — as well as Thor, S.W.O.R.D. and Generation Hope. Gillen relaunched two longstanding Marvel series in Uncanny X-Men and Journey into Mystery before again teaming with McKelvie for an acclaimed take on Young Avengers. Gillen wrote Iron Man for Marvel NOW! — and he explored the galaxy far, far away in the pages of Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra and Star Wars. Gillen returned to Marvel with thoughtful runs on Immortal X-Men and Eternals.

Working for the Marvel UK imprint led Spanish artist Salvador Larroca to a regular gig on Ghost Rider. He graduated to Fantastic Four, alongside one of his favorite writers, Chris Claremont. From 2000 to 2006, Larroca depicted Marvel’s mutants across Uncanny X-Men, X-Men and X-Treme X-Men. Following a stint on Amazing Spider-Man, Larroca brought his maturing style to a lengthy run on Invincible Iron Man and the X-Men: No More Humans original graphic novel. Upon the return of Star Wars to Marvel, Larroca turned to the dark side with Darth Vader before taking on the flagship Star Wars title.
