After Darth Vader #25, I predicted that riding a podracer would see Vader wrestle with some personal demons, and that #26 would also see Sabé resurface in the storm, and I was right. If anything, this issue spends a little too much time wandering through Vader’s memories and retreading old ground, though it does mark a significant change in Vader’s journey towards his eventual redemption.
The Darth Vader comic series (particularly Charles Soule’s run) has always been at its most fascinating when Vader strolls down memory lane, dealing with some of his awful decisions as Anakin Skywalker and wondering what might have been. Unfortunately, this issue isn’t as effective with its flashbacks…..
