Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 15: Vader After A New Hope & Introducing Doctor Aphra (Darth Vader #1-6)

This week Mike talks about the first volume of Darth Vader comics (from 2015) set shortly after A New Hope which follows Vader trying to make up for his failure of allowing the Death Star to be destroyed, while trying to amass an army against Palpatine and him meeting Doctor Aphra, as well as the homicidal protocol & astromech droids Triple-Zero and BT-1!

The first volume of Darth Vader was written by Kieron Gillen, the artist is Salvador Larroca and the colourist is Edgar Delgado. Issue #1 was released in Feb 2015, issue #6 was released June 2015 and the volume/book 1 collection was released October 2015.

We recommend checking out episode 9 of SWCIC to hear what was happening to the rebels & Boba Fett at the time of this Vader comic. The next volume of Darth Vader will be talked about next month, and the main run of Star Wars comics will continue with its third volume in two weeks (episode 17) which runs alongside these Vader comics (timeline-wise) – so be sure to subscribe and keep updated!

Last week Mike spoke about the Princess Leia comics, before that was the main run of Star Wars comics set shortly after this comic and the Jedi Fallen Order prequel comic was the week before that. Previous episodes have been about how Obi-Wan & Anakin almost left the Jedi order, the Rogue One & Solo comics, planet Mon Cala, Krait & DJ from Last Jedi and Captain Phasma, Operation Cinder, how C-3PO got his red arm, Darth Maul beyond The Phantom Menace and for episode 1 The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic was talked about.
