The lettering used for the Rebel Fleet blends in which the explosions themselves-it’s as if their exclamations of fear were part of the visual landscape. The fighter ships are incredibly detailed, complete with dark grays for the side panels and intense reds to represent their explosive fire. Artworkĭeodato Jr.’s penciling and ink work, Martin’s coloring, Caramagna’s lettering were each integral pieces of this beautiful issue. It is the perfect setup for this storyline-casting the tyrant in an unstoppable position from the get-go leaves ample room for him to fall in the future. His elegant ease in dismantling the Rebel forces makes one feel as if he’s a force of nature himself. The beauty of Aaron’s narrative lies in his portrayal of Vader. But once he lands on the planet, readers will see how Vader fairs against an armada of Rebels on the ground. We (regretfully) find ourselves almost routing for the villain. Star Wars fans know how egregious the sins of Vader are, but few can deny the draw to a character with such determination. But the confidence exuding from him would never permit him to do such a thing. Upon running into the fleet of Rebel X-Wing Starfighters, one would think the Dark Lord would attempt an evasive maneuver. Receiving a tip from Doctor Aphra, Vader moves in on Luke’s location. But as this issue will show us, the Sith Lord is a force of nature all his own. If anyone else were in Vader’s position they would have virtually no chance of survival.
The villain, originally on a trip to Vrogas Vas in search of Luke Skywalker, finds himself surrounded by a Rebel Forces’ fleet. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., Frank Martin, and Joe Caramagna, the 2015 issue was an ambitious cross-over event that honed in on Darth Vader in order to further explore his character. VADER DOWN #1 was one of many new titles to come out of Marvel to celebrate its revitalization of the Star Wars franchise in comic books.
