I've caught up reading the latest issues of the Darth Vader series, and I decided to make the third my final issue, at least in regards to this storyline.

I believe that if a storyline doesn't grab you by the third issue, it's likely you're not going to like the rest of it. Well, this comic isn't grabbing me; I find the art competent but boring, the writing flatter than a pancake, and the unending references to the PT irritating, so I'm calling it quits.

I've also been reading the Princess Leia series. In sharp contrast to the Vader series, I'm actually enjoying it thus far, the wonky "rounding up all surviving Alderaanians" plot and the unnecessary callbacks to the PT in the last issue aside. If it stays on-track, I may even end up accepting it into my personal canon by the time it's over.
