Star Wars Darth Vader #3 (2020) second pirnt

Greg Pak manages to work a feeling of despair into a comics featuring flashbacks to the Naboo "love" scenes between Padme and Anakin.


Since that shouldn't be possible, we must conclude that he has a plan. Weaving in threads of 'Phantom Menace' and 'Revenge of the Sith' as well, we learn exactly what the Naboo survivors think of Anakin Skywalker AND Darth Vader.


Raffaele Ienco remains a better than average Marvel artist, but his work lacks the photorealistic appeal of Salvador Larroca, and the hyperkinetic movement of Giuseppe Camuncoli. Still, we must respect anyone able to pencil/ink 22 pages these days and turn in consistent, competant work.


A little TOO heavy on the callbacks, and the new droid just makes you miss 0-0-0. Call it a solid '7'.
