Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Lost Command isn't something that was on my reading list, but it was on sale for $3.99 on Amazon, so I gave it a try. Nineteen years before the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader is haunted by the loss of his wife, Padme. He is sent by the Emperor to the Ghost Nebula to find Admiral Garoche Tarkin, the son of Grand Moff Tarkin. There, he finds a local priestess, Lady Saro, with her sights set on becoming Queen of the Ghost Nebula. Her offering? She can help Vader find Admiral Tarkin.

Don't get me wrong; this is a good story, but what makes this comic special is the characters created by George Lucas, namely Darth Vader and the Emperor. Still, while reading it, I could hear the Star Wars theme in my head. That sort of synergy between the comic and the original movies doesn't come easily. And yes, I was interested to see more of Vader. He's a cool character, and Darth Vader and the Lost Command remains faithful to that character. Recommended for fans of Star Wars. ***3/4

Star Wars Darth Vader and the Lost Command Haden Blackman Rick Leonardi Dan Green Wes Dzioba 9781595827784 Books Reviews

While the art quality isn't what I would think of as "Traditional Star Wars", I really liked the art and action. I was disappointed though by the shortness of the story, and how quickly the book moved through its major beats in the plot. In some places, where I would have expected larger panels, other angles on the scene, or more insight into how the characters were reacting to each other there was instead a quick scene and speech bubble.

Slightly disappointing overall, but otherwise a solid look into Vader's psyche post-Episode III.
Tired of seeing one of fiction's best villains failing to capture people and not living up to the whole 'powerful, cunning, vindictive and generally evil' thing? Boom here it is-a comic novel that is so well done and good to it's topic that the only problem it that it isn't about 300 pages longer. It centers on a single plot line, has great writing, excellent art (really..well done) and fully fleshes out the story about an attempt on the emperor's life and concludes nicely with you strangely rooting for these genocidal Sith lords and their brutal cohorts. One small sum of a scene a few imperial guards lay dying after taking the brunt of an assault and Vader enters a chamber. DV-"where is the emperor?" guard choughs and answers-'he mad it to the throne room...help me please' DV-"I cannot. You've already served the empire".
I don't read comic books much but this has something for everyone even if you don't like the prequels. With the same writer as The Force Unleashed games story you can probably tell this is a very dark work. It takes place before New Hope and before Darth Vader finds Starkiller, it pretty much picks up right after the end of Revenge of the Sith and tries to make the jump from Episode 3 to 4 make sense. I think it succeeds quite well because Vader is depicted as being the same emo kid from RotS at first, he is haunted by the death of Padme and trying to accept that he caused her to die slowly drives him mad and explains how he went from being a reckless young apprentice to a master of the dark side. Even if you hate the prequels give this one a chance you won't regret it, Vader does some badass evil stuff in this book that will remind you of the first time you saw him force choke someone out. =]
Absolutely loved it!! It was a great story with an intersting choice of art, you'll see what i mean with vader and the strom troopers. I am sad that darkhorses star wars storys are no longer canon to the universe but thats not gonna stop me from enjoying these amazing stories still out there. if your as much of a fan of the dark lord of the sith as i am then this is a must have for any comic collection, along with darth vader ghost prison and 9th assasin. this story in particular humanizes vader more without taking to much focus away from his darkside getting glimpes of the anakin that still resides in vader but only one can exist at one time and obviusly we know how that turns out but thats why its such a great story. Came 2 weeks before i thought and in perfect condition, would buy again
Star Wars Darth Vader and the Lost Command was a good read, but I had some small issues with it, for instance the art was good...most of the time, but the dreams/visions where not as good as the rest, but I can understand that the dreams/visions did have to have another kind of art so it was easier for the reader to understand that this was not present time (Well honestly if you failed to realize that you couldn't really have understood the story very well...) I just wish the art could have been a little bit better!

The story was OK, interesting enough to read, but not as interesting as Star Wars Darth Vader and the Ghost Prison. But I liked the fact that Darth Vader was shown a lot of time without his mask. That was cool. But I'm also a bit confused how he could breathe without his respirator? I mean I can understand how he could do it for a short period at a time, but towards the end, he was without his helmet for a long time.
This graphic book does a good job of showing a bit more of Vader as a new Sith Lord, especially the working of his vitality lifesuit lung and fake limbs. One gets the impression that the "experimental construct" known as Lord Vader requires quite a bit of routine maintenence as well as improvements and upgrades. It is also good to see that Vader is haunted, even tormented by the images and scenarios presented by the lurking ghost of Padme which add to his psycological downward spiral stacking onto his rage at some points making him exponentially volatile. The novel also shows that Vader still has some of that charge in recklessness of Anakin within him, which almost costs him dearly. My suggestion....this is a very quick, fun, good read and if you are really into Vader, then that makes it impressive.....MOST IMPRESSIVE! Hoping this helps the Star Wars Nation....MTFBWY
