"Darth Vader" #1 takes place after the arc we're halfway through in "Star Wars". I mean, I assumed the Rebels accomplish their mission and escape, I just figured I'd find out how by reading that series.

Anyway, "Darth Vader" is pretty good. The art is a little "traced over screengrabs from the movie" which makes them look more realistic than the current "Star Wars" run, but is distracting to me personally when I can identify what frame most of the art was based on, except for the two-page spreads, which look incredible. As for the plot, I'm really liking the animosity between Vader and the Emperor. The Emperor just treats Vader like garbage, and some of the dialog are now my favorite things.
