That sucks. It's like the only good Star Wars comic at the moment.

It's not cancelled. The team wanted to end the story there, as they felt they told it all.

>good
>star wars comic

kek

not that user, but wasted trips

Against all odds, it was somehow a good read. The art was awful but the story and handling of the Vader character/dialogue really worked.

Yeah, just to have a All New Darth Vader # 1 the very same month.

Why not timeskip into the post ESB, preROTJ time.

Plus it had quirky waifu. You can't go wrong if you have quirkies.

>All New All Darth Vader

Yeah there's gonna be a relaunch by the end of the year

the story sucked

You mean Disney cancels right?

Cuz last time I checked Marvel has a master now and that master owns Star Wars.

Why would Disney care? It's just more money for them?

How is it All-New if it's the same Darth Vader? Oh no... they're going to replace him with a woman now, aren't they? I can see it now: The Story of the Lost Vader

What a thought provoking argument. You definitely won me over.

Not likely. Gillen is going fully indy like Hickman/Fraction/Brubaker after this.

Dat cover, though.
I wish Gimenez did a SW comic.

Too bad they had to shoehorn in a fight with Luke. Really undermines the duel in episode V in the global narrative.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

It's not like you read it.

Not really. In an interview he said he has one new project with Marvel.

>Too bad they had to shoehorn in a fight with Luke. Really undermines the duel in episode V in the global narrative.
Yes because it's not like he had ever fought Vader before episode 5 at any point in sw history

>Yes because it's not like he had ever fought Vader before episode 5 at any point in sw history
Disney is like "Yeah the canon is all fucked up so we gonna fix it. Start over."
>Proceed to do all the same mistakes from EU

Under a new writer

Could it be...?

I know it was never officially announced or even teased beyond that retailer thing.

But still.

You gave us hope, Marvel.

Don't give up hope yet, user.

>I wish Gimenez did a SW comic.
Who?

I've only read up to that crossover with Vader falling onto the rebel planet
But my opinions on the books are
Star Wars was a fun book with wacky ridiculous things happening to the main cast
Darth Vader was an alright slow burn that I would only read all at once and also the artist can't draw stormtroopers
And I hoped they would never crossover or have anything to do with each other
So I stopped reading when they crossed over

I'm kinda sad that they killed Thanoth.
As soon as we get a nice Imperial, he gets killed or rebels. Every time.

I'm with on this one.

>mfw Marvel can afford to do this and continue to dominate the charts effortlessly

Lando and Darth Vader comics were very good.

on the other hand, there are some abominations like Princess Leia comic

Remember when a creative team would leave, the book would just continue with a new team? But no, gotta get those new #1's. Relaunches for everyone, short term profits are all that matter!

>Padme!Vader

Just put out a couple more variants to make up for it

I actually have really high hopes for the Anakin And Obi-Wan comic. It's got alot of potential.

>written by Soule
Into the trash

>Anakin
>potential

Literally never true, in any universe

user, these are Star Wars tie-in comics. There was never any integrity here.

That's why they're just going to relaunch it with a new writer.

Don't worry, Vader kills the Emperor later and saves the galaxy. Yay.

I kinda hope it means we'll get a bounty hunter comic. Sure it'd probably be boba fett. But why not bossk. Why no love for bossk?

I'm surprised Gillen resisted the urge to make Vader gay.

Why would that even be a thing? Lucas already did it in the prequels

Maybe we get a Grievous comic that un-fucks him up

I like him being a big incompetent coward from TCW

Alonso said that Gillen will continue to work at marvel, hmmn, LBGTQ avengers vol 2: this time with more dick

I'd like IG-88 to get a mini, I thought you could do a lot with a droid bounty hunter.

Eh he was always boring to me. At best a boss level type physical threat.

It's not cancelled, the creative team decided to end their run.

I see what you mean, and maybe it's just because I was younger when the Clone Wars cartoon was on, but he just always seemed so fucking cool to me.

He was a million times cooler when he wore all white and did his spinny capoeira shit

So what happens to Aphra's character?

If she doesn't die by the end of the series, I suspect she will probably never appear again in any media whatsoever.

...

>implying Vader won't leave Aphra for dead and she will use her Vader cosplay suit from then on

I really enjoyed it. There were some great moments there.

This makes sense, especially since they were sticking it in between Episode 4 and 5, they can only do so much in those few years.

>Marvel now having to cancel their Star Wars books

foes this mean Disney is winding down their comics division? Especially with Disney Infinity being cancelled, they might just see the comics as more dead weight.

>I wish Gimenez wasted his time and talent with Marvel crap
I wish you died right now.

>foes this mean Disney is winding down their comics division?
I hope so.

Better die a hero.

Too bad, the comic was almost Injustice tier of stupid nonsense. It was fun.

>getting rid of the EU because it was confusing and silly
>one of the first series of the new canon is about the most popular character and Waifu Indiana Jones's wacky adventures, featuring Space Sherlock Holmes and these guys

>almost Injustice tier of stupid nonsense
I knew only DC haters liked it.

They're gonna make him black with a scrawny asian guy doing the voice

Might as well kill floppies altogether. Fucking collectorfags ruin everything

Floppies are useful. What if you only liked one issue of a 5-issue arc? Do you buy the whole TPB?

This comic is so much fun. But it's good they are ending it before it gets stale.

Gillen pls
