Frankly, I'd go so far as to say he is more unnerving in Blackmans hands than he was in the original trilogy (which is easy to explain away as him sort of mellowing and losing a bit of his skill as he aged).<br /><br />I'll be keeping an eye on the sequel miniseries; I'll definitely be reading it when it hits trade.dl316bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779958088602323101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599691851045140907.post-42100998735446817172012-02-18T22:06:36.149-05:002012-02-18T22:06:36.149-05:00I just saw the first issue of the sequel series in...I just saw the first issue of the sequel series in Dark Horse's solicitations yesterday. It's nice that they're giving Blackman the autonomy to do these stories, especially since it sounds like he has a good grasp on the character.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599691851045140907.post-60114853605928643422012-02-18T18:27:08.469-05:002012-02-18T18:27:08.469-05:00I think it's well worth it.

I never felt the prequels diminished Vader, but even if they did this story gives him a lot of his bite back.<br /><br />I believe this same creative team has another Darth Vader miniseries on the way this spring, so I'm looking forward to that.dl316bhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779958088602323101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599691851045140907.post-8716162304125803872012-02-14T11:13:38.043-05:002012-02-14T11:13:38.043-05:00This sounds like a fun book.

I'm getting back into the Star Wars universe, slowly but surely, these days, and I think I'll be adding this to my mounting pile of reading material.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.com
