Writer Charles Soule approaches Vader as a nuanced and flawed character and this issue carries greater meaning because of it.Darth Vader #10 is strong in the force and easy to recommend for any Star Wars fan. Read Full Review

Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli have long since proven that a second Darth Vader comic was a wise move on Marvel's part. This series is just as skilled as its predecessor when it comes to subtly illuminating the man underneath Vader's armor. While it's a little strange to see the Inquisitorius so abruptly drop out of the story, in all other aspects this issue is a fantastic end-cap to the book's second story arc. Read Full Review

An intense issue which makes a minor character into a legit bad@$$ and provides a look into the mind of Skywalker/Vader... Good stuff. Read Full Review

This series could not be wound tighter. It is very clear that the arc, and series as a whole is about to snap into a grand showdown. Vader has faced every demon he has ever known to get to this point. How ever will Palpatine ultimately get Vaders leash back on him? Read Full Review

Who knew there was more to Darth Vader than just a big bad guy? Apparently, Charles Soule knew! Such a great issue exploring Darth Vader's insecurities! Read Full Review

This iteration of Vader has another very solid issue that, like the series, builds to its strengths the more the issue goes on. The pacing here is very engaging and I like the use of so many different elements, particularly the Clone Troopers and just how much of an unknown Vader is at this point as his reputation is only beginning. The artwork is strong throughout and I really liked the abrupt end to Nu herself as it felt like a very Vader thing to do in how he deals with her. There's a lot of gray in the mix here as you can imagine that even though he's become this thing that he's still struggling with the war within him as that little bit of good peeks out from time to time. It just makes me more excited to see where this series can go " and leaves me hopeful someone will pick up on that rifle concept and run with it. Read Full Review

A good Star Wars story conclusion that, while predictable on some level, remains well-written and artistically assembled on the page. Read Full Review

Darth Vader #10 ends the fight with Jocasta Nu in a foreseeable manner, but still manages to provide action and development that would please any Star Wars fan. Read Full Review

Another great Star Wars title that delivers a fantastic battle, a connection between Rogue One and Revenge of the Sith. Plus showing a young Darth Vader in action. Read Full Review

Ochi is still tagging along, although it's still unclear what further purpose he has to play (other than witness to Vader's accomplishments and eventually end up with a dagger). Read Full Review

Incredible issue. It honestly feels like Charles Soule is getting stronger and stronger as this comic goes. Its brings an interesting end to this story and Darth Vader continues to evolve as he grows as a Sith. I love this comic.

This series is awesome. But this issue is breaking what I deem to be continuity. Why would the troopers turn on Vader when a Jedi names him as Anakin? Why would Vader destroy the list of force sensitive? Dude, killed younglings in episode 3! Shit, he destroyed a whole village 3 issues ago. Maybe someone else can set me straight and explain why he'd destroy the list. Otherwise, this issue gets a low rating. You cannot pussyfoot around with the most badass character ever.

1.) They didn't turn on him because the robot identified him. They turned on him because they saw a lightsaber, and were uninformed about his description by the head officer, which is why Vader killed him afterwards. 2.) I don't know why he destroyed the list, but that makes it more interesting, for me at least, because it raises questions that could possibly be answered in later issues.

I believe he destroyed the list because Jocasta said Sideous wanted to use it to make more apprentices, Vader already doesn't like the Inquisitors because he wants the only sith in the galaxy to be the both of them, so he decides to destroy the list so Sideous couldn't get it. At least that's my take away from it.

@VGCinema that seems the most reasonable and I hate it. I want to believe that Vader doesn't want to share Sideous because he views him as a source for true power. But, to me, Vader's always had this misplaced sense of loyalty. I fear he doesn't want to share Sideous because deep down he's still that whiney bitch, Anakin, and Sideous is a father figure to him.
