Darth Vader #2 was excellent. Kieron Gillen would have fit right in with the Dark Horse writers. Excellent pace throughout the book and the back and forth between Vader and Tagge was great. Loving all of the Imperial intrigue. I hope the main Marvel Star Wars title learns a thing or two from this run.

As Smithers said, it was a disappointment to see Destroyer droids but not unexpected. As much as we might protest, the prequels are still a part of the franchise and their touch will continue to be felt from now on. Though their inclusion here wasn't too bad. At least they weren't regular battle droids. *shudder*
