Sometimes I feel like tearing my hair out with all this stuff.

I would love to read all the vader comics but where do I get them all in one purchase?

It doesn’t help matters that there have been three different canon series titled simply Darth Vader. The first two (covering the immediate aftermaths of ANH and ROTS, respectively) have long since ended and should be available in compendium editions. The current series, which picks up right after ESB, is about halfway through its run now if the length of the other two are any indication. Another wrinkle is that Vaders 1 and 3 have a good deal of crossover with the other ongoing comics and I really have no idea how the print collections handle those arcs; these days I read all my comics digitally issue-by-issue.

Not sure if it’s been discussed already, but these past couple weeks I’ve been absolutely devouring the Alphabet Squadron books. I’ve taken a lengthy break from Star Wars novels recently and now that I’ve dipped back in I’m really blown away by these. The tone is similar to Rogue One, but I think that the characterization here is actually a lot stronger than in that film. I really hope they keep Alexander Freed around, after this series he’s right up there with Claudia Grey and Charles Soule for me.
